Apps :: unzip problems

Okay. This is propably solved right away if someone can tell me if there's a dsl extension for unzip program.

Anyway. I noticed that unzip program is 'merged' to buzybox.
I read the man page for it and tried to unzip my archive. Failed.
Ok. Then I did this to investigate:

Code Sample

$ unzip -l mboard122.zip
Archive: mboard122.zip
Length Date Time Name
-------- ---- ---- ----
3822 09-04-04 19:53 badwords/en.php
unzip: Unsupported compression method 0

It shows that it cannot 'unzip' zip archives that have compression level 0 (no zipping at all, just archiving). Seems strange to me. =D I thought it would be THE easiest job even to an old zip program to unzip an achive that has no compression.

So. What's wrong?

There's different zip standards afaik - I personally like p7zip because it pratically handles everything to do with file compression, but the binaries are larger.

Of course you could try the standard unzip program too. (try from apt?)

I did

Code Sample

sudo apt-get install unzip

and it worked.
Actually it's almost the same as in buzybox. Same options and so on...

Well yes, busybox was meant to be a small replacement;
see http://www.busybox.net/about.html

Also loading gnu-utils.dsl or gnu-utils.unc provides the full version.
