I have an old .odb file in three copies, created with an old Libreoffice Base version. When I try to open it, I get a message "general I/O error". If you tell me how to retrieve debug info I could attach it to this ticket. I cannot attach the .odb file for privacy reasons
Looks like a problem to read the file from disk. Please test if you can open the file with a compression program like 7zip, or WinRAR. Odb files are zip files with several files in it.
Created attachment 172820 [details] 7-Zip screenshot 7-Zip can open the file
I am closing the bugreport since I found out that on my Linux installation Base does not start at all so the problem should not be related to this file
