[Ubuntu-translations-coordinators] [Bug 580961] Re: unzip fails to deal correctly with filename encodings
I've closed the remaining tasks. This particular bug was fixed in Precise and later. For remaining issues in p7zip and file-roller, see Bug #1382106 and Bug #495880 --- unzip (6.0-4ubuntu2) precise-proposed; urgency=low * Fix incorrectly displayed file names with UTF-8 characters. Add -DNO_WORKING_ISPRINT to build flags.
