(should already pull in libhsqldb-java) and then retry.
Typically, the dependencies of experimental packages are not sorted out
properly, so installing them can be a trial. I routinely install package
from experimental, and from my experience, I recommend NOT to do it. I make
exceptions for new kernels, and occasionally language tools, like the
imminent release of gcc-4.8, but never anything than might impact my ability
to boot or read & write to the hard disk. Libreoffice should be safe
enough, but *beware*!
