[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When I try to open an odt file in Emacs I get this error:

File mode specification error: (error Conflicting types: name says (odf)
but content says (epub))

This is despite the fact that I have this in my init file:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.odt\\'" . doc-view-mode))

I cannot reproduce this.  I'm guessing some other customization, or
maybe some package you load, is involved.  Please see which other
factors affect this, and please post a recipe that can be used to
reproduce this problem starting from "emacs -Q" (if some packages need
to be loaded, please make that part of the recipe).

Thanks.

The error message comes from doc-view-mode, so it is being used here.
But have you checked whether the message is gives is correct?  It's
saying that you're giving it a file called .odf while the contents of
the file is really an epub file.

I downloaded an odf file and was able to reproduce the problem, and I've
now pushed a fix to Emacs 29.
