@roger64: Your image of the error still in NO way shows an epub that Sigil "can't open." After you dismiss thar error message, just run a Well Formed check to find where the error is and fix it manually.

My problem is with you saying that Sigil "can't open" the epub when that's simply not true. Mismatched tags are not enough of a problem to make Sigil fail to open an epub. In fact, there would have to serious structural issues involved for an epub to be unable to be opened by Sigil. Sigil will bark and warn you upon opening it about these well-formed issues, sure. But it won't stop you from opening and fixing them (either automatically or manually).
