Follow-up Comment #7, bug #60830 (project octave):

I tested and the fix works.

Environment: Octave 6.1.1, io 2.6.3, linux 5.11 (Ubuntu 21.04), LibreOffice
7.1.4.2.

My steps were:

Download a new .xlsx file from Google Sheets.

Check that I can open it in LibreOffice.

Make sure I can recreate the problem.  At first, I couldn't, then I realized I
was using the UNO interface.  So I changed the call to:

    xlsopen("sample.xlsx", true, "OCT");

And now xls2oct failed.

Copied __OCT_spsh_open__.m to /usr/share/octave/packages/io-2.6.3/private

And xls2oct succeeded.

I made sure that LibreOffice could still open the file.  It did. No apparent
losses to the file.

Conclusion: the fix looks good to me.
