Inkscape won't open .cdr files

Hello I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 and I've installed Inkscape because I need to edit a .cdr file, Inkscape works like normal but the sole task I need it to do is edit said .cdr file which I understand it should be capable off by default.

Whenever I try to open the file though I get the following error:

UniConvertor failed:

The eror itself is longer but what it seems to be saying that it can't find this application, and I myself haven't found it in the package manager.

If someone has experienced something similar or has a simple solution for editing cdr's I'm no artist I just need to change some names, I would be very gratefull.

The full error.

According to the error log

   load_drawing_from_file

    raise SketchLoadError(_("unrecognised file type"))

    app.events.skexceptions.SketchLoadError: unrecognised file type

the CDR file ist not recognized.

What is the version of the CDR files?
UniConvertor supports only the following CDR versions:

CorelDRAW ver.7-X3,X4 (CDR/CDT/CCX/CDRX/CMX)
