Details

Updated unzip packages that address various bugs are now available.

The unzip utility is used to list, test, or extract files from a zip archive.

This updated unzip package includes fixes for the following bugs:

* the unzip utility would fail to report a "disk full" write error when
attempting to extract data to a mounted NFS partition that was full and had
no space remaining, and would exit with status 0, which incorrectly
indicated success. This has been fixed so that unzip now gives a "disk
full" write error when space on the target NFS partition has run out, and
correctly exits with a non-zero exit status if told to continue the extraction.

* the unzip utility would report "size mismatch" error messages when
extracting from password-protected zip archives because it was not taking
into account the small size difference caused by the encryption.

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated unzip package, which resolves
these issues.
