Comment 61 for bug 580961

The bug is FIXED by Russian AltLinux community and some humble developer who improved on their patch to apply to then-newest (2010-11) InfoZIP sources, but published only in country-local website in Russian language.

Here's the Google-translated publication with all links and instructions: http://goo.gl/paR5i

I tested the patches, they work for me on Ubuntu 10.11 amd64. I wrote to topic starter, waiting for reply, if none - will try to contact ZIP maintainer in Debian.

Shame to the Russian-speaking persons who were too lazy to search the Web, instead barking at actual developers - it took me a few hours to find the ready solution and test multiple ways of applying it, 'alien' (failed, worked only for reading) and source build.
