Alex Valavanis, why you compiled Inkscape in ppa:inkscape.dev/stable without libcdr ? I've just installed from https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/ubuntu/stable and noticed, that Inkscape 0.91 doesn't open CorelDraw files until python-uniconvertor is installed.
Please fix packaging code at lp:~inkscape.dev/inkscape/debian-packaging-stable to add libcdr-dev build-deps according to bug  #1104198 (https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1104198)
Ubuntu 14.04 has libcdr 0.0.15 , newer libcdr 0.1 is uploaded to Ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04.
If you need newer libcdr you can simply upload newer libcdr version to Ubuntu 14.04 or even Ubuntu 12.04 section at https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/ubuntu/stable PPA

Bug description:
  Inkscape community proudly announces the 0.91 release of Inkscape! Please update Ubuntu 15.04 packages to the latest stable Inkscape version.
  Packages for Uuntu 14.x, 12.04 and 15.04 are available at ppa:inkscape.dev/stable - see

  This release marks the culmination of a multi-year effort to switch to a new internal graphics rendering engine, Cairo. This brings performance enhancements and more accurate rendering of drawings.
  A new Trace Pixel Art feature enables creation of vector art from bitmaps, sprites, and icons. A new Symbols Library provides reusable graphics elements - you can even read in Visio symbol libraries. New Snapping options and improved Snap preferences make it easier to quickly place items in the alignments you need. The tools for arranging objects offer several new ways to position the elements of a drawing. Tons of other little improvements have been made across all the other tools as well.
  Several new file formats are supported, including FXG, SIF and HTML5 export; and VSD and CDR import. EMF/WMF are now readable and writable for all platforms. And XCF, PDF, EPS, and PS+LaTeX support are improved.
  Inkscape has a rich Extension ecosystem, which is well known for bringing clever, cool, and innovative new ideas. Over a dozen new extensions are added in this release, including an Isometric Grid Generator, a Bitmap Cropper, a Text Extractor and a Text Merger, an HSL Adjuster, a Font Replacer, a Voronoï Diagram Creator, and more.
  The above barely scratches the surface of all the new stuff included in this release. For the full story, including examples and screenshots, please see our detailed Release Notes:
