Hi!

I tried to get that with «readlink -f» but it doesn't print anything
in this case. This is because "../../../javascript" doesn't exist.

I have all these exactly as you noted. However, my report was for
"plugins" directory not for "program".

2012-05-03 14:52:55 upgrade roundcube 0.5.4+dfsg-1~bpo60+1 0.7.1-1~bpo60+1
(at the same time it started to depend on libjs-jquery-ui)

Looking at the last message from bug #656886 I see that you assumed
/var/lib/roundcube/plugins/jqueryui is a symlink but in reality it is
not. Nor is the plugins directory (from var). The symlink to "/var" is
in /usr/share/roundcube:
| plugins -> /var/lib/roundcube/plugins
| skins -> /var/lib/roundcube/skins
