Description

This issue is not open for contribution. Visit Contributing guidelines to learn about the contributing process and how to find suitable issues.

Target branch: current production

Observed behavior

Same as for HTML5 ZIP files, when compressing the content for KPUB files, the underlying ZIP sometimes contains a folder that is creating errors for the content viewer.

Errors and logs

Observed while testing here: https://github.com/learningequality/kolibri/pull/15038#issuecomment-5139027696

Expected behavior

We should perform the same validation and format correction for KPUB uploads, as we did for HTML5.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked HTML5 issue 4013 and pull request 4867, then inspect the KPUB upload path and reproduce the malformed ZIP described in the Kolibri testing comment. Done means KPUB uploads receive the same validation and format correction as HTML5 ZIPs, without the extra folder that breaks the content viewer.
