When this error happens, is the epub opened in archive-mode or
doc-view-mode?

When in doc-view-mode I get a different error:

| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable archive-nil-write-file-member)
|   (symbol-value archive-nil-write-file-member)

|   (archive-write-file-member)
|   (run-hook-with-args-until-success archive-write-file-member)
|   (basic-save-buffer nil)

When I hit C-c C-c to leave doc-view-mode and return to the archive view,
I get an error like you posted.

doc-view-mode doesn't remove its installed advice on
`buffer-revert-function' when hitting C-c C-c, and this simple fix seems
to help to avoid the error above (could you maybe try that please?):

Is this the dired buffer or the buffer showing the archive contents?
Does the patch above help with this problem (assuming it is caused by
the error you got)?


TIA,

Michael.
