Yesterday I made an updated using the PPA repo in Ubuntu 10.04 of LibreOffice 3.5.2 to 3.5.3, then some files with XLS extensions don't open normally. When I tried to open the xls file I got a wizard to import text to file.
I use this PPA https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa/+packages

But, in this moment I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, so I had installed LibreOffice 3.5.2 and the files that I mentioned was fine, but using the proposed repo and updating to 3.5.3 when I tried to open the file also show me an import dialog. So this is a regression.

There is also a bug report in LibreOffice upstream that need more info, the file attached there works to make the test:
