Maybe ADE and calibre have some way of finding the OPF file on their own, but without "META-INF" the ePub is definitely invalid.

I wimped out & did an epub to epub convert with calibre, It is OK now.

but out of curiosity I opened what is now the original_epub file in winrar. & I see all of that "missing" stuff - the META-INF folder, and inside that the container.xml.. so sigil's error message is misleading.

I cannot post the file for copyright reasons but if anyone wants to did deeper juse PM me with an email to send it to
