[Bug 83568] Re: amd64 version of gnumeric does not read or write excel format

[Darren Adams]

I am also experiencing this problem, but am seeing it on my 32-bit
system. My output of dpkg -l \*gnumeric\* is as follows:

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

I've attached a spreadsheet as you previously mention. The spreadsheet
is also available from http://www.hackney.gov.uk/ew-recycling-schedule-
excel (you might need to append the .xls extension to it for Gnumeric to
see it)
