I've reported the problem upstream [0], and push a fix for our package
with 9f21ca83a89a5e6c808b58fab0dc54b7785c26b7 ("gnu: libreoffice: Fix
password encryption issue.").
Closing!

Hi,
When password-protecting (encrypting) a file with LibreOffice, it fails
silently, leaving the file unprotected (!).
Reproducer:
1. Launch Calc with 'libreoffice --calc'.
2. Input something in the first cell.
3. Select File -> Save As. At the bottom left of the dialog box, make
sure to tick the "Save with password" box. Give it a name,
e.g. very-secret.ods, then click on "Save".
4. Enter a dummy password, such as 1234.
5. Quit LibreOffice Calc.
6. Open the assumed protected file, with 'libreoffice --calc
very-secret.ods'. Notice the file is open without any password.
No output is printed at the console, and if you have an truly
password-encrypted file, it won't be able to open it.
