Unzip is in the Non-Free distribution. Although Info-Zip's copyright is very liberal, it's not quite DFSG compliant. There's also a version with encryptation support in the non-US archives. mothra:~$ dpkg --print-avail unzip Package: unzip Priority: optional Section: non-free/utils Installed-Size: 232 Maintainer: Santiago Vila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 5.32-1 Replaces: unzip-crypt Depends: libc6 Suggests: zip Conflicts: unzip-crypt Filename: dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386/utils/unzip_5.32-1.deb Size: 124578 MD5sum: 4ed8a4269a98b59c35390287394e51f2 Description: De-archiver for .zip files InfoZIP's unzip program, packaged for Debian GNU/Linux. With the exception of multi-volume archives (ie, .ZIP files that are split across several disks using PKZIP's /& option), this can handle any file produced either by PKZIP, or the corresponding InfoZIP zip program. your pal dave -- Dave Thayer Denver, Colorado USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
