Opening a lit file returns error

I received the following error when I tried to open a lit file with Calibre v0.7.34:
------------------------------------
ERROR: Could not open ebook: Read past end of directory chunk

Traceback (most recent call last):

LitError: Read past end of directory chunk
-------------------------------------

Has anybody encountered such problem?

That means your lit file is damaged.
