Hi Eike, Regina,
Thanks for the answers.. Solved.

Let me elaborate. It is far from the first time that I unzip an odf
fully, change something, and then rezip.
Never had any problem. Might just have been lucky :)

Indeed, that helps. (Notably the Gnome archive manager allows to open
one file to edit and have it refreshed after closing the editor - this
is similar to what Regina writes).

"The file XXX is corrupt and therefore cannot be opened. ..."
The invalid xml notice is something that is shown in the emacs status.
But appears to be a red herring to me now. Especially since that notice
appears without doing anything in the file. Prolly checked against
another xml schema.

Re: manually changing content.xml > invalid xml.. but why
Hi,
I do not unzip to a folder. But I use "Open Archive" from 7-Zip. The
context menu of content.xml then has "View" and "Edit". I have setup
7-Zip to use "XML Notepad" with "Edit" and Notepad++ with "View". Then I
use either of them to change the content of content.xml and use "Save"
in those applications. Then close them. Now 7-Zip ask whether I want to
update the file. Say "yes" and close 7-Zip. It has always worked. You
might notice, that I'm working on Windows 10.
From my experience with unzipping to folder, a very common error is,
that people do not zip the content of the folder, but the entire folder.
Kind regards
Regina

This results in invalid xml file.. that LO needs to repair on opening.
Already the slightest change in the xml file (adding a space in string
"foo") makes the file invalid.
How do you re-zip the file? Best is to freshen the zip with just the
content.xml to keep the original file order and compression, i.e. the
'mimetype' file MUST be the first entry in the zip archive and MUST NOT
be compressed. So,
zip -f filename.ods content.xml
should do. If that doesn't help then it's something different ("invalid
xml" is a vague description).
