- libreoffice --calc name.ods
- shows the error
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
+ Release:	11.10
  
- libreoffice --calc test4.ods 
+ 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc

+ 
+ 4) What happens instead is the document is blank and the Terminal shows:

- and opens an empty spreadsheet.  It also fails to open when the ods file is double clicked, as that is the same command.
- If I open it using just
+ Original Reporter Comments: Some edits to the document will fix the
+ problem, others do not.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Open it via the Terminal command:
+ 
  libreoffice test4.ods
- then it opens ok.
  
- The spreadsheet has been ok then suddenly started giving this error after some changes.  Some edits to the document will fix the problem, others do not.
- Failing document attached.
+ WORKAROUND: Copy the entire sheet from test4.ods into a new, blank Calc
+ document, save the document and then one may open via the expected
+ Terminal commands or by double clicking.
