 * Unfortunately, I can no longer upload .zip files to import them into a wordpress
   site. Only the error message “ERROR: Incompatible archive.” appears.
 * I have run this scenario many times. Always with no problems. Now this.
 * Has anyone had the same problem and know of a solution? I have exported the files
   several times and tried to import them. Always with the result of this error 
   message.`

 * I have also just tried older .zip files that previously worked without any problems
   and I get the same error message.
 * I have also reinstalled wordpress that I want to import into. Same error. 🙁

 * hmmm … it seems as if all zip files are suddenly corrupted. When I try to unzip
   them with 7zip, I get the error message “unexpected end” every time – even the
   files that worked fine before … strange
