Error while compiling packages

Question

Hi All,
i have been asked to execute some packages. so i took the backup of the existing package by using dbms_metadata and spool.
Now i have been asked to revert it again back to the original.
When i am executing the old backup one again i am getting error. It was valid before. I know the error is due to not proper fromatting, as in vi editor when i am seeing it its coming like this may be due to improper pagesize and linesize setting while spooling
  CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE "STGPUB1"."BP_RELATED_CONTENT_PKG" AS
* Package Name    : BP_RELATED_CONTENT_PKG
* This package is called to get all the information about all related content
* New Procedure "GET_TEASER_IMG_TXT_PRC" is created for BPR2. Date: 15-Mar-04,
*/could you plz help me how to get rid of this...by using vi or notepad or wordpad or by any other process.

As i told you no dependencies failed the error is due to improper formatting as it was valid earlier.
