I don't see the java package listed. That is needed for ODS support too.
If you can't download the java package from Ubuntu, you'll need to 
install it yourself:

To be able to install the java package you also need a Java JDK (not 
just a JRE). (JDK = Java Development Kit). Be sure to install that first.
Then, download the Java package (= java-1.2.8.tar.gz) from octave.sf.net

Find where the Java JDK is installed, probably somewhere in
/usr/lib/jvm/ , it might look like jdk-sun-1.6.0.24 or so (I don't know 
Ubuntu, my Linux = Mandriva).

In Octave, then do

  cd '/to/where/you/put/java-1.2.8.tar.gz'

  setenv ("JAVA_HOME", "/full/path/to/java-jdk")   # Mind case

  pkg install -auto java.tar.gz

and you should be all set.

Philip
