This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in
previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU
Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

  3) What is expected to happen is using Ubuntu 11.04, LibreOffice
  Writer via the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/779329/+attachment/2119283/+files/2010_05_04%20Hire%20agreement.odt
  && lowriter -nologo 2010_05_04\ Hire\ agreement.odt

  the file opens successfully.

  4) What happens instead is a window pops up noting:

  Read-Error.
  Error reading file

  click OK button and Writer closes.

  WORKAROUND: Open in AbiWord.

  WORKAROUND: Covert the .odt file to a .doc via AbiWord then open in
  LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

  abiword --to=doc --to-name=2010_05_04\ Hire\ agreement.doc 2010_05_04\
  Hire\ agreement.odt && lowriter -nologo 2010_05_04\ Hire\
