Created attachment 129966 [details] When opening this file: Calc asks you about updating links that really shouldn't exist. Hi! DESCRIPTION: Calc says that an empty file... has links to other files. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Open the attached file, it asks you about updating links that really shouldn't exist. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: You can try opening the attached file, adding another sheet, deleting the old sheet (so the file should be clean), closing the file, opening the file again... and it keeps you asking about updating links that really shouldn't exist. You can try saving the file in odt format. Then it doesn't ask about updating links (!). Thanks for Calc!
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this. It seems LO can't see an hidden sheet named: 'file:///home/julien/to/tmp/1/DDI.fods/DDI.fods/DDI.fods/DDI.fods/DDI.fods/DDI.fods/DDI.fods/DDI.fods/DDI.fods/DDI.fods/m/amf/X%C3%A0bia/DDI/quadern%20del%20professor%20de%20DDI%202016-2017.fods/SSII/quadern%20del%20professor%20d'SSII%202016-2017.fods'#Actituds But how did you create this file?
> But how did you create this file? It was a prior Calc file where some sheets (with links) were removed, but Calc it still asked about updating links; all the sheets were removed, and still it asked about updating links. Thanks for Calc!
It seems the file is corrupted some way. The problem is the sheet name. The config-item-map-entry part doesn't contain this sheet name. Except if you know exactly how to reproduce this (original file + step by step process to get this corrupted file), I don't think it's possible to do anything here. BTW, last stable LO version is 5.2.4
I can't provide the list of steps that were made to re-create the corrupt file :-(, I have only the corrupt file where the problem is shown when opening the file.

Thank your feedback. In this case, let's close this one. Don't hesitate to reopen this tracker if you encounter again this problem and have step by step process to reproduce this kind of file.
Hi! Anyway Calc should tell users that the external links couldn't be opened :-? (in this case because the external file does not exist). That way, the user would notice sooner that his spreadsheet got corrupted because in the screen they would see the (very strange) name of an inexistent file that (of course) could not be opened. The sooner the user notices the problem, the sooner he can give more clues. To investigate that I've created a new bug report: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105006 Feel free to change anything. Thanks for Calc!
