** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ An old bug in Engrampa prevents users from creating zip archives when
+ the compression level is set to maximum in the settings.
+
+ The fix for this issue is provided in the debdiffs attached to the
+ report.
+
+ The fix is already in Artful, and would be nice to backport it to Zesty
+ and Xenial as well. That bug caused problems for years, especially if
+ you don't remember that you once set the compression level to maximum.
+ The error message doesn't really help.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ First, set the compression level to maximum, using either dconf-editor
+ or gsettings tool:
+
+ $ gsettings set org.mate.engrampa.general compression-level 'maximum'
+
+ Then try to compress any file(s) into zip archive. The operation will
+ fail with error message dialog, and the archive won't be created.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ None. The fix doesn't affect any other features of Engrampa (other
+ archive types, other compression levels, extracting, and so on).
+
+ [Original Description]
+
Engrampa 1.12.0-2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS
If compression-level is set to "maximum" through dconf, engrampa cannot
create zip archives while it still can handle every other archive type.
