I think this bug has reappeared in Karmic 9.10. I get slightly different symptoms:
When trying to open an Excel XML 2003 file I get "General Error. General Input/Output Error" When trying to save a new blank spreadsheet using Excel 2003 XML format I get "Error saving the document Untitled1. Write Error. The file could not be written." -- Can't open an Excel 2003 XML file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32502 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
