Output of file command for a given odt file gives me 

Composite Document File V2 Document, Cannot read section info.

By searching on Google I found it a doc document and I installed unoconv to read it on linux(fedora). But when I run the command:

 unoconv -d document --format=odt file.doc

I get the following error:

unoconv: RuntimeException during import phase:Office probably died. Unsupported URL  Thumb.doc: "type detection failed"**.

I am having all packages of libreoffice writer. So how do I open these kind of files on fedora?

  • Make sure you installed libreoffice from official Fedora repo correctly and your file isn't corrupted. Commented Oct 25, 2018 at 4:07

You need to use a URI-format for the input:

unoconv -o /absolute/path/to/file.pdf file://$PWD/file.doc

the error message is poor processing of the tool and not related to the data. I also found the output works only if an absolute path is given.
