--print-default-data-file does not create custom-reference document

Hello,
Could you tell me why an error occurs when I try to produce a template / 
reference file either in odt or docx file format ?
$ pandoc -o custom-reference.odt --print-default-data-file reference.odt
Then the terminal print this types of characters and pandoc quit with a 0 
error code. 
6�>A!�%&�z���8K���*g��RK�T�u��9▒���;�~���hM�=q�}�9Y�QA+H"��0���.(���

But there is no custom-reference.odt file in  the user data directory
Is it because the version is 2.2.1 on Kubuntu 18.10 ?
$pandoc --version
pandoc 2.2.1
Compiled with pandoc-types 1.17.4.2, texmath 0.10.1.2, skylighting 0.6
Default user data directory: /home/pierre/.pandoc

Pandoc has been installed in /home/pierre/.locale/share/pandoc
I have tried both copying the directory in /home/.pandoc/ and created a 
symlink from .locale/share/pandoc but result still be the same.

Thank you for your help

You're using an older version; the documentation on our website
is for the current version. (For your version, see the man page
installed with the package.)

Relevant changelog item from pandoc 2.7.1:

  * Allow `-o/--output` to be used with `--print-default-data-file`,
    `--print-highlighting-style`, `--print-default-template`.
    Note that `-o` must occur BEFORE the `--print*` command on the command
    line (this is documented, #5357).

So prior to 2.7.1, you couldn't use -o with
--print-default-data-file; it would just print to stdout.
Of course you can use a redirect:

pandoc --print-default-data-file reference.odt > custom-reference.odt

which is what your man page should tell you to do.
