How did you build this EPUB? Did you use Sigil, or did you do it by hand (or some other method)?

I looked up that error and ran into another topic which mentions it here:

It could be that whatever tool you used to build the EPUB (if you did it by hand) forgot to include "toc.xhtml" into the content.opf. Those are a pain in the neck to create by hand, so creating your book using Sigil will take care of a lot of that annoying minutiae.

If you open the EPUB in Sigil, and click on the checkmark in the corner, it might also give you a slightly more "understandable/helpful" error:
