I experience the exact same. I looked in the software centre and saw a package called simply 'LibreOffice' among all the 'LibreOffice *' packages. I installed that package and i can now open my files containing macros. I should expect though that having just the LibreOffice Calc package would be enough to open Calc files with macros so I suspect this still needs a fix.
