> Bug description:
> Binary package hint: unzip
>
> This is a fairly annoying bug that's been around and known at least
> since 2005. It's very visible as it will very often make exchange of
> zip files with Windows users impossible, for example. As such, it
> gathered it's fair share of "me too" and "how dare you haven't fixed
> this yet!!111!" comments.

> Problem description:
> zip/unzip and the specification fall short when dealing with non-ASCII
> filenames not encoded in UTF-8
>
> test case:
> do an "unzip -l" on the file http://tinyurl.com/2aofpxs and witness the
> question marks
>
> affected programs:
> the problem is in unzip itself, but affects GUI like xarchiver,
> file-roller, etc. that rely on unzip for the decompression
>
> suggested solutions (most are workarounds, not proper fixes):
> a) reintroduce patch for codepage-based zip filenames: bug 477755,
> http://tinyurl.com/2aqdbqg (Ubuntu blueprint)
> b) unzip filename according to locale: bug 203609
> c) Ubuntu JP has a patch, probably not generally applicable, bug 269482
> d) Russian altlinux distro uses natspec lib and patched zip binary
>
> natspec was mentioned in bug 477755 comment #2 and may indeed be a
> proper fix, needs closer inspection (I haven't really looked, yet. As
> discussed in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306403 there
> is no failsafe, straight-forward way to fix this in all cases.
> Nonetheless, the current situation can and should be improved.
> There's some good ideas floating around. It needs somebody to pull
> and wrap them together.

> It's unfortunate the FOSS community so far hasn't been able to fix
> this rather visible problem. I'm opening this ticket as a master bug

> 1) to 3) will showcase to the devs how many people are affected and
