(In reply to skierpage from comment #0) > Debian has other useful patches to catdoc, > https://salsa.debian.org/debian/catdoc/-/tree/debian/sid/debian/patches I created the GitHub repo https://github.com/skierpage/catdoc to assemble this bug fix, the other Debian patches, and other fixes to catdoc floating around, although I'm barely proficient in C and don't understand Office formats. I let the Fedora maintainer "rsc" know about it, but they (understandably) aren't interested in taking on a bunch of undocumented unreproduceable fixes. > I can't figure out how to access upstream's bug tracker, > http://www.wagner.pp.ru/~vitus/software/catdoc/ The same git history of 0.95 is also on GitHub at https://github.com/vbwagner/catdoc , but has no commits for 7 years. So catdoc is a project with no upstream maintainer :-( This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '37'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. Still fails in Fedora 39. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 39 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 39 on 2024-11-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '39'.

If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. Still fails in Fedora 41. Still no upstream, but Debian's version with multiple patches is much better than Fedora. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 41 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 41 on 2025-12-15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.

Fedora Linux 41 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2025-12-15. Fedora Linux 41 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Still fails in Fedora 43. vbwagner has shown signs of life at https://github.com/vbwagner/catdoc/ and I think fixed this bug, but hasn't made a new release. Still no interest from Fedora packagers in my updated repository that now has even more bugs fixed including important CVEs. Fedora Linux 41 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2025-12-15.
