Attached is a sample ODS file, produced on a different GNU/Linux
distribution immune to the problem. The password is: "1234".
password-protected-spreadsheet.ods
Description: Binary data
When attempting to open it with our LibreOffice, it says: "The password
is incorrect. The file cannot be opened.", which is a lie.
