Sébastien,I see by following links from another recent post by you that you are about to prepare an Octave io-1.0.17 pkg for Debian. FYI: I plan to make a new io pkg release (v. 1.0.18) fairly soon; it fixes a few bugs and updates to a minor but creepy LibreOffice UNO-Java API change (that they didn't tell me about earlier ;-( )

For a little while I tried Ubuntu - worked OK there as well.I can't tell for these distributions. But on Debian, xlsread currently fails, even with the java package installed (which itself installs a JRE, of course). I am going to investigate it, and report any problem if it turns out that it is not Debian specific.
