Error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found

The full error is:

Error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in PHPExcel_Writer_Excel2007->save() (line 227 of /var/aegir/platforms/demtools-civicrm-dev-20170926/sites/all/modules/contrib/civicrm/extensions/ca.bidon.civiexportexcel/PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel/Writer/Excel2007.php).

It looks likely that this is just a missing PHP extension. Digging into the upstream project that's in use here, they do document some PHP extensions as requirements: https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel#requirements

So, this looks like simply a documentation issue.

It looks like this was sufficient to resolve this issue:

sudo apt install php-zip
sudo service apache2 restart

It would be awesome if a check could be added in the extension that adds a message to the system status page when the zip extension is missing.
