I found out what the reason is: I was using Ubuntu with German language,
and the month names which contain Umlauts, like Jänner and März were
broken in the sense, that ls -l would write 'M�' instead of 'Mär', and
the libreoffice script has the following section:
while [ -h "$sd_res" ] ; do
cd "`dirname "$sd_res"`"
sd_basename=`basename "$sd_res"`
sd_res=`ls -l "$sd_basename" | sed "s/.*$sd_basename -> //g"`
and the strange character in ls -l seems to break things. Switching to
english regional formats fixed this issue for me.
