Package ark (4:4.14.1-0ubuntu1) Ark: 2.19 Steps to reproduce: 1) Compress a file to the .zip format with the Ark either from the Ark or from the file manager context menu. 2) Unpack the .zip file with the 'unzip'command There is an error message (Test.zip) Archive: Test.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of Test.zip or Test.zip.zip, and cannot find Test.zip.ZIP, period. The file command is telling: file Test.zip Test.zip: gzip compressed data, last modified: Sun Nov 2 11:54:49 2014, from Unix The Ubuntu package ark (4:4.14.1-0ubuntu1) has a patch 'use_libarchive_for_zip_files'. When compiling the Ark without the patch the Ark is compressing to the .zip format. Then the file is identified as: file Test.zip Test.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract and the unzip can unpack it: unzip Test.zip Archive: Test.zip inflating: Test.txt ** Affects: ark (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to ark in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388532 Title: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ark/+bug/1388532/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
