Bug#501457: odt2txt fails to recognize legit .odt file
As I replied privately to the reporter, I've looked at this issue: I've fixed a few things in the ODT generation code, and now the wiki:syntax export passes the validator cited here. These changes are only in the git repo for now. (use git clone http://aurelien.bompard.org/projects/dokuwiki/odt.git;) However, odt2txt still fails to recognize it as a valid ODT file. The strange thing is : if I unzip the odt file, and re-zip it without changing anything, odt2txt handles it just fine ! Therefore, I'm not sure the bug is in my ODT generation code. It's probably the zipping part, which is done in PHP by Dokuwiki, and is perfectly usable with unzip or OpenOffice. Maybe the kunzip library bundled with odt2txt lacks something to handle this uncommon archive. I'm no C expert, so that's where my investigation stops. Thanks for the report. By the way, the odfpy library (http://opendocumentfellowship.com/development/projects/odfpy) has some nice command line tools to convert ODT to other formats (like XHTML). I don't think it's packaged in Debian yet, but you may find it interesting.

Is it possible to you send me some .odt files generated by your new code and that odt2txt fails to recognize, please?

Bug#501457: odt2txt fails to recognize legit .odt file
Package: odt2txt Version: 0.4-1 I am using an wiki system dokuwiki (apt-get install dokuwiki). The system has an plugin that allows one to export content of a page as a .odt file: http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:odt The resulting file can be read using openoffice's oowriter, but attempt to open it using odt2txt causes following error: Can't read from a.odt: Is it an OpenDocument Text? Could well be that the problem is in the way the dokuwiki's plugin creates the file, but unfortunately I am not in the position to tell that. BTW, if I save the save back from openoffice, the file grows from 5kb to 9kb and then it *can* be opened using odt2txt... -- Arie a.odt Description: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text

I am almost sure that the problem is with the plugin that generates the ODT file. Using this ODF validator [1], from [2], it gives (there is an online validator at [3], that seems to be more updated, but it's giving internal server error now): $ ./validator --file=a.odt ERROR: missing required file settings.xml 0 warning(s), 1 error(s) Document does not validate file also doesn't recognize it: $ file a.odt a.odt: data With a valid ODT file I have: $ ./validator --file=a2.odt 0 warning(s), 0 error(s) Document does validate $ file a2.odt a2.odt: OpenDocument Text Is the plugin included in the package dokuwiki or it's installed separately? What I can do is forward this problem to odt2txt upstream and ask, if possible, for a better support of broken ODT files.
