I have had the same problem on Debian. Markus traced the problem down to the
avcimport program (which is used in v.in.e00). When I launch it creates a
coverage directory, but the file within it is tiny and is thus not correct.

I have tried recompiling avcimport but this does not solve the problem. I have
already sent a mail to avcimport's author, but haven't received any reply from
him.

I would be interesting to see if there are some files for which it works and
others for which it doesn't. That might allow us to identify the problem.
