pptx files can't be opened when created with Impress 5.0.x

Thanks for the link.

Unfortunately looks like the Kernel for PowerPoint Recovery tool is
not free (as in freedom) software, which is antiethical to
LibreOffice. Also, I think it is crucial that LibreOffice's export to
PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx) function is as bug free as possible to
begin with.
