Error unziping files with greek characters

[Yannis Tsop]

Binary package hint: unp

when trying to unzip a file with greek (or any other non ascii language) characters there are problems with the produced file name. This is due to a known encoding flaw in zip files.

eg: try unp on file: http://www.ops.gr/Ergorama/fileUploads/ypiresiaops/prokirikseis/biografiko.zip

the third file has a problematic name (greek characters) something like "????գ? ?????ҿӮ? ս??_?.doc"

there is no obvious way to manipulate this file (open, rm, mv ...)

I include a modified script that changes default behaviour and uses 7z to unzip files, converting filename from a predefined codepage to the current one.

Thank you for the patch. It may help in finding a solution but in its current form cannot be considered for inclusion in Ubuntu since it hardcodes the codepage to use. There may be other problems with the patch in its current form. Nonetheless, thank you again for sharing it.

If by default I have it disabled, and if the user just changes the source code page to use and enables it would you include it?

Based on the comments from Rolf, tagging the patch as patch-needswork, please feel free to change that to patch when you have a new patch for review.
