This is still definitely a problem for me on Ubuntu 11.10 i686 with the latest official libreoffice binaries. Steps to reproduce:

1. Purge ubuntu libreoffice packages with dpkg --purge --force-all "libreoffice*"
2. Install 3.5.0beta0 binaries from libreoffice.org.
3. rm -Rf ~/.libreoffice
4. Open /opt/libreoffice3.5/program/soffice
5. Open "File->Wizards->Address Data Sources..."
6. There are four sources presented (Mozilla/Netscape, Thunderbird, LDAP and Other external data source)
7. Select any of these. A dialogue appears saying "The connection to the external data source could not be established. No SBDC driver was found for the given URL"
8. Click on "More" in this box. The error shown is "SQL Status: HY000. The connection to the external data source could not be established. No SDBC driver was found for the given URL."
9. Click on "Information". The description is "A connection for the following URL was requested "sdbc:address:evolution:local".

From the comments above it looks as though I'm going to have to use OpenOffice to use my evolution address book to print out year's Christmas card labels...
