This is caused by the way Ubuntu packages LibreOffice.

Since LO 7.6, the package maintainers decided to ship ScriptForge in a separate package. So if you want to use scriptforge, you need to install the python3-scriptforge package

sudo apt install python3-scriptforge

This should fix your problem.

I should note that this was not a decision made by LibreOffice devs, but instead by the maintainers of the LibreOffice packages on Ubuntu.

The "Ubuntu-maintainers" have a reputation for going their own way from time to time, but in this case they made a wise decision!

+1 Ubuntu

Closing this as NB, since it didn't actually need a patch to fix it.
