If you can get someone using Windows to export the tables to an Excel (.xls) file, you can then open the .xls file in LibreOffice and copy and paste the data into Base tables

There seems to be no connection with Bug #174057: Systemwide problems with libcairo2 update. Bug link removed.

Can you help with this problem?
