Hi Teodor!

We already got a similar problem. The output of ls -l is misleading. You
can check with "readlink -f" instead:

$ ls -l /var/lib/roundcube/program          
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 juin  20 08:02 /var/lib/roundcube/program -> /usr/share/roundcube/program
$ ls -l /usr/share/roundcube/program/js/jquery.min.js   
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 juin  24 01:53 /usr/share/roundcube/program/js/jquery.min.js -> ../../../javascript/jquery/jquery.min.js
$ ls -l /var/lib/roundcube/program/js/jquery.min.js   
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 juin  24 01:53 /var/lib/roundcube/program/js/jquery.min.js -> ../../../javascript/jquery/jquery.min.js
$ readlink -f /var/lib/roundcube/program/js/jquery.min.js
/usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.min.js

Could you check that you get the same output on your system? Also, here
is the relevant bug report:
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=656886

I think you have the same problem. If this is the case, an history of
what versions of roundcube you installed would help to find where the
problem comes from.
