Looks like there is a remnant of OpenOffice: $ xdg-mime query default application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet openoffice.org-calc.desktop
I also found this: $ grep -r gnumeric .local .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list:application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet=openoffice.org-calc.desktop;gnumeric.desktop;libreoffice-calc.desktop;file-roller.desktop; Compare the locations of the applications listed: $ locate openoffice.org-calc.desktop /usr/share/app-install/desktop/openoffice.org-calc.desktop $ locate gnumeric.desktop /usr/share/app-install/desktop/gnumeric.desktop /usr/share/applications/gnumeric.desktop /var/lib/menu-xdg/applications/menu-xdg/X-Debian-Applications-Office-gnumeric.desktop $ locate libreoffice-calc.desktop /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-calc.desktop I think what is happening is that /usr/share/app-install/desktop is not in the search path and /usr/share/applications is, so gnumeric.desktop is being used in favor of openoffice.org-calc.desktop since the former is found and the latter is not. The correct application, libreoffice-calc.desktop, doesn't even get to play. I removed the offensive line from .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and then ran: $ xdg-mime default libreoffice-calc.desktop application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet Now, when I run xdg-open on a .xlsx file, I get libreoffice as desired. At least in my case, it would seem that this is fallout from the OpenOffice to LibreOffice conversion.
