I don't know if anyone else has come across this. I usually write documents in latex and use a couple of commands on the source files that output an .odt:

latexmk file.tex
mk4ht ebook file.tex

Works fine, except that calibre fails to convert it. Calibre works fine if I create a new odt in libreoffice however, so mk4ht is failing to do something.

This is the output from the conversion that fails:

I looked for the file office.dtd in an .odt made in libreoffice but it doesn't exist there either, so I don't know what the problem is.

*Edit: I did find this: /opt/libreoffice3.6/share/dtd/officedocument/1_0/office.dtd
