Title: ZIP/UnZIP missing?
Post by: phipslk on October 23, 2025, 04:07:16 PM

Unarchiver seems not to be able to handle zip-files? Or am I missing something, is there really no zip/unzip installed?

It should do, I've mainly tested it with zip and lha files, and  thinking about it I'm sure it does as I've been using it to test scummvm downloads which are typical zipped

Any more specific info about the files you are having issues with?

It's the same situation as OS3.2 then! The program Avalanche fits the brief for that OS.

I stumbled upon that problem when downloading ScummVM files which were zipped, and I couldn't unzip them.

Did you download those by hand or via the ScummVMGui tool?

I've been downloading and unpacking scummvm mes to test the scummvm pluging using unarchiver, and I just installed an updated to a software item which was zipped using it.

Do LHA work?

I downloaded the files via the ScummVM GUI tool, download worked fine. But unzipping not, lha works with UnArchiver.
I tested xadlibinfo and it shows GZip, so it should unpack and recognize zip files, but somehow not the one from ScummVM.
I checked with other zip files and there it works, so probably the downloaded file from ScummVM is corrupt.
Update: When I try to redownload it with ScummVM, it crashes Amibench. It seems that fetchurl crashes the system
