As per comment 4 the binfilter has intentionally been removed upstream
(and it wont come back, good riddance).

There might be a reimplementation as part of the document liberation
project, if there are volunteers or sponsoring. But otherwise support
for the old binary formats has ended.

Title:
  can't open sdw document in writer

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 13.04
  Release:	13.04

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
  libreoffice-writer:
    Installed: 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 1:4.0.2-0ubuntu1 0
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What is expected to happen in Writer via a terminal:
  cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1186756/+attachment/3692886/+files/ex1m5a00.sdw && lowriter --nologo ex1m5a00.sdw

  is it opens successfully.

  4) What happens instead in Quantal is I get an "Allgemeiner Fehler - Allgemeiner Ein/Ausgabefehler" (i/o - error).
  apt-cache policy libreoffice ->  1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4
  libreoffice-filter-binfilter ->1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4

  In Raring, it opens without an i/o error, but the contents are
  gibberish.

  WORKAROUND: Use AbiWord.

  apt-cache policy abiword
  abiword:
    Installed: 2.9.2+svn20120603-8
    Candidate: 2.9.2+svn20120603-8
