Package: mat
Version: 0.5.2-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

While attempting to scrub metadata from some documents, I recieved the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mat-gui", line 423, in __mat_clean
    elif self.liststore[line][0].file.remove_all():
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MAT/office.py", line 80, in remove_all
    beginning_blacklist=('docProps/'), whitelist=('.rels'))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/MAT/archive.py", line 180, in remove_all
    zipout.write(path, item.filename)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/zipfile.py", line 1135, in write
    zinfo = ZipInfo(arcname, date_time)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/zipfile.py", line 305, in __init__
    raise ValueError('ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980')
ValueError: ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980

Which resulted in the metadata not being removed from the .docx file
