Dear Adam Conrad !

It seems that the following problems in LibreOffice:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67527

are caused by libglib2.0-0 package in Ubuntu 12.04.5. 
Please apply this patch (https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=255c65f83c1515a7e3fc4609b36e72acc08a79e4) on distro-wide level.

Ubuntu 12.04.5 is LTS, users may not want to switch to the next LTS. 
But they need normal openning of office files from network shares with LibreOffice.

Title:
  GUINT32/64_SWAP_LE_BE macros do not enclose val argument in
  parentheses

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Fix Released
Status in The "G" Library - GLib:
  Fix Released
Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On 12.04 LTS precise GUINT32/64_SWAP_LE_BE macros do not enclose val argument in parentheses, causing trouble down the stack in gvfs and LibreOffice (and possibly in lots of obscure bugs elsewhere).
  There is a patch available, but as this touches the header, it needs a full recompile of rdepends.
  see: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-March/180302.html ff. for details
