retitle 875688 report builder inactive; only legacy reports can be created and run thanks
For clarity, there are two reporting systems in LibreOffice: 1) Report Design (entirely in C++), the "old legacy one". 2) Report Builder, which used to be an extension, then was a bundled extension, and then became an optional but integrated part of LibreOffice (installed by default, but optional). The Debian package of 5.4 behaves as if the optional part of LibreOffice "Report Builder" was not installed, although the packages libreoffice-report-builder and libreoffice-report-builder-bin are installed. I haven't diagnosed why. The immediate cause is that in file dbaccess/source/ui/misc/linkeddocuments.cxx function OLinkedDocumentsAccess::open, the call to impl_open throws a css::io::WrongFormatException, but what is the underlying reason for that? Probably the internal LibreOffice registry doesn't have properly registered the optional "Report Builder" part (could be an error in /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry/reportbuilder.xcd or that file is not loaded), or it fails to load for some reason.
