Abiword does not support the ODT format yet. What makes you think that it did
save in this format?

Yeah, that’s what OpenDocuments are after all.

??? When I open the Save Dialog and click on the Save File As Type
button, one of the choices in the drop down list is "OpenDocument
(.odt)", and when selected, Abi saves as an .odt file.

Not the point; they are seeing .zip while I'm seeing data. Why?

Now that’s odd. I don’t have that option and never had; using version 2.4.6 from
Debian stock. Double-checking … no, nowhere to be found here.

Apparently ODF support is a plugin, distributed in abiword-plugins.

I don't understand. All the messages I see in the report indicate that
file is recognizing the document as a zip archive, just not as an ODF
document.

Geez, never knew this package existed. Pulls quite some dependencies but
provides some neat stuff. Thanks.

Are we talking about the same report? From the report:

> magic.odt: application/x-zip application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text
And:

I guess Daniel is just busy, you might want to ask for the current status in
this report.

We're talking about the same report. What I meant was that even before
the fixes, the messages in the report indicated that file was reporting
zip, and their problem was that they wanted file to report ODT. My
problem is that file doesn't even seem to realize that it's looking at
a zip archive.

Ah yes. Took me a while to figure it out: the solution is the -i option which
outputs the MIME type instead of a generic description:
> $ file -i foo.odt
> foo.odt: application/x-zip
