I have received a few of these recently and I found an rpm on Novell's
website at

  http://download.novell.com/SummaryFree.jsp?buildid=ESrjfdE4U58~

[binary only, of course, I'm afraid].

I just converted it to a tar file using alien and extracted the
OdfConverter executable, rather than trying to install the add-on to
OpenOffice. It appears to work OK at least for the simple files that I
have had to convert so far.
