Bug Description
[Impact]
An old bug in Engrampa prevents users from creating zip archives when the compression level is set to maximum in the settings.
The fix for this issue is provided in the debdiffs attached to the report.
The fix is already in Artful, and would be nice to backport it to Zesty and Xenial as well. That bug caused problems for years, especially if you don't remember that you once set the compression level to maximum. The error message doesn't really help.
[Test Case]
First, set the compression level to maximum, using either dconf-editor or gsettings tool:
$ gsettings set org.mate.
Then try to compress any file(s) into zip archive. The operation will fail with error message dialog, and the archive won't be created.
[Regression Potential]
None. The fix doesn't affect any other features of Engrampa (other archive types, other compression levels, extracting, and so on).
[Original Description]
Engrampa 1.12.0-2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS
If compression-level is set to "maximum" through dconf, engrampa cannot create zip archives while it still can handle every other archive type.

Fixed upstream, not released yet though. Can be fixed in Xenial and any following Ubuntu releases using this patch.
