In the meantime, I cannot install UniConverter (or anything else on the SK1 site) for the same reason I cannot install SK1 - that is there are no 64-bit .deb files, and no instructions for how to install from source. There is an python install script that I tried to run. It ended in about a dozen error messages. SK1 appears to be installed, but it won't launch, and there are no error messages when I try to launch it from the command line. In the meantime I tried to take my CorelDRAW clipart CD to the university, but university computers don't have CorelDRAW installed. I thought I remembered that Illustrator can open .cdr files, but the current version on the university computers cannot. Finally I asked on a local Linux e-list that I subscribed to and found someone who had an old Windows computer with CorelDRAW installed. I sent them the file and they converted it to Adobe Illustrator format for me, so now I have what I need. SK1 or UniConverter would have saved me a lot of hassle if only I could figure out how to install one of them.
