I think I am facing the same problem, although the file is NOT password protected. But the symptoms are exactly the same : file opens just fine under LO3.4 on Ubuntu 11.10, but fails with read-error on LO 3.5 on Ubuntu 12.04.
I don't have any idea why yet, nor do I know what specificity this file has... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978680 Title: LibreOffice cannot read password-protected writer files Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 1) Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch) Release: 12.04 2) libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What you expected to happen Open an existing, password-protected .odt file.
