libre writer is unable to repair a word file saved by pspp. 
I am not sure who is that bug pspp or writer? 

In any way, i think that the file is somehow valid and librewriter must be able to repair it.

`if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then   echo "XML is well-formed."; else   echo "XML is not well-formed."; fi`

it produces "xml is well formed" after unziped for content.xml.

sorry, this i meant "xmllint --noout  content.xml " no output meaning that no errors exist in xml file

There are two issues here:

1. The ZIP is bad. We have introduced some additional checks for ZIP compression correctness recently; this ZIP has some records inconsistent. This creates the proposal to repair; that is correct (and "pspp" should be notified).

2. Inability to repair was LibreOffice bug, specific to broken CRC check in repair mode. That was bug 166862.
