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 and clean slate to document the issue and current status. Please don't ruin it by making above-mentioned unhelpful comments, they actually slow things down! Please don't nominate for a release.

Unless you're a dev and can provide a patch, you should think VERY carefully to do anything but

1) subscribe yourself to this ticket
2) mark this bug as affecting you
3) tell me via mail about other bugs you think are a duplicate of this one, discussing the same problem

1) to 3) will showcase to the devs how many people are affected and that is the only real chance we have for somebody to take a serious look. "Me too" comments do the opposite, so again, please don't do it.

An archive file with cyrillic file names included

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ru; rv:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009080200 SUSE/3.0.13-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.13

There are several discussions about the problem concerning cyrillic filenames in zip archives and unzip package. Unzip out-of-the-box (compiled from sources) does not choose filenames encoding correctly.

Developers from Ark say me, that the error is completely from info-zip project (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204984).

There are sime patches to info-zip's unzip package, that makes unzip extract filenames with correct encoding. But maintainers of info-zip project rejected these patches (http://www.info-zip.org/board/board.pl?m-1248086794).

It would be nice to include this package in main openSuSE distribution.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create zip-archive, containing files with cyrillic names under Windows.
2. Try to open it with unzip under SuSE
Actual Results:
Filename encoding is incorrect. Example:

pavel@pavel:~/tmp> unzip ReportPacket_DBV90821CJ.zip
Archive: ReportPacket_DBV90821CJ.zip
  inflating: ???????? ????? (????????).pdf
  inflating: ???????? ????? (??????????).pdf

Expected Results:
Results, produced with natspec patch from sisyphus

We have found solution. But it requires additional libraries to convert file names on the fly.

The library is librcc especially created for handling non utf encoded file names.

How we can proceed then? RPM packages are built on OBS and tested. Should we create submit request?

@Philipp
Chances to push this patch to upstream is very small or even not possible at all. Other distributions tried to accomplish that without success.

The upstream statement is: The trend in IT is to use UTF8.
That's why patch is not accepted.

Then why we can't accept this patch as openSUSE specific to close such annoying bug? And maintain it until good time comes. openSUSE maintain a numbers of specific patches for rpm, OpenOffice.org

If you won't maintain patch, please let community to do it.
The patch is small. It introduces new header and changes few strings of main code.

We tested patched unzip for two-three months and it just works. Also we got positive feedback on Czech and Slovak in addition to Russian language.
It also pretty applicable on latest 6.0 unzip version.

Martin, do I read the Changelog correctly that you assumed the Ubuntu delta for unzip 5.52-12ubuntu1 only concerned UTF-8 and thus you dropped it when Debian released 6.0-1? In fact, I believe this then introduced a regression that made bug 10979 (or this bug, whichever you prefer ;-)) to return. Actually, unicode is mostly not an issue and dealt with in 6.x. What's remaining problematic is non-UTF-8, non-ASCII filenames in zip files. It's my understanding that's what this has been about all along. I believe we will need to reintroduce a similar patch or look into natspec which seems to be able to deal more elegantly and automatically with the matter.

Hm, the original patch from https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unzip/5.52-9ubuntu3 talked about "UTF-8 file names" all along. Unfortunately I cannot read the upstream bug, it's in Russian.

So if this was about non-UTF-8, it was very misleading. Sorry for dropping it prematurely then.

Rolf Leggewie (r0lf) wrote :

Martin, thank you for your comment. The question is now how to deal with this regression. One way is of course to reintroduce the patch from bug 477755 (not sure if it still applies cleanly). The other option that seems to be a more general solution is the one offered by natspec. I'm currently in the process of working with Andrew Shadoura to try and get the libnatspec package into Debian.

I would think the following is the best course of action.

1) reintroduce (an adapted) patch from bug 477755 for lucid. don't close this ticket.
2) evaluate libnatspec for maverick

What do you think? Can you take care of part 1)?

Revision history for this message
Rolf Leggewie (r0lf) wrote :

failed to mention the reasoning behind my proposal.

unzip is in main. If unzip were to depend on libnatspec it would need to be in main, too. This can not happen before Maverick. But I think we should try to get a fix for Lucid as well, especially since this is a regression from an earlier version and the solution should be reasonably easy to implement.

Sorry, I don't think I can. I'm on rotation for this cycle, and not
working in the platform team. But I'm happy to sponsor a fixed package

OK, understood.

But I think that's a bit lame. I'm not throwing around blame, but it seems your upload introduced the regression as part of your paid work and now you want others to fix it. I have no beef in this, am not being paid for it, yet I have already volunteered and done all the recent bug work, started to work on evaluating natspec for maverick, etc. Simply because I want the Japanese folks to drop one part of their delta to Ubuntu.

Frankly, I believe you should play your part, being currently on the platform team or not. Especially since it's probably nothing more than taking the old patch, maybe tweaking it slightly, testing and uploading.

In reply to C12
More & more customers are having incoming zip from differents encodings and it's really a pain to explain, oh this zip should be unzip under window to get the right encoding. We look like charlot.

So as 11.2 as a long life in front of it, yes I'm voting for having it include as fast as possible. The bug start under 11.2, so I feel it's better to close it on 11.2, and be sure it was integrated in 11.3

Or (I'm only seeing ma world part :-) ) there's a much complicated implication, if so it should be explain.

Hi Rolf, I think your first comment "Actually, unicode is mostly not an issue and dealt with in 6.x. " is not true.. if I zip utf8 filenames with non-ascii chars (with zip command or file-roller) then I can't unzip them with file-roller.. because 'unzip -l' lists them wrong.

See my comment on upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619116#c4

So I think this bug still applies for UTF-8 files (those with non-ascii chars).. the problem here is Info-zip doesn't even have a bug-tracker, but the file-roller problem could be solved just installing 7-zip package (again see my upstream comment..).

let me know if I'm wrong in my observations..

@Matteo

I can confirm that the p7zip package does not completely solve the problem in the following usage scenario:

Several files, each with a korean filename(presumably with euc-kr or cp949 encoding) compressed in a windows environment to .zip.
Fileroller shows invalid filenames when opening the archive.

without the 7-zip package(p7zip-full): the filenames appear as invalid, including various illegal characters, which makes it impossible even to extract the files

with the 7-zip package: the filenames appear as invalid(but different from above), but is extractable. Although I cannot say with certainty, the invalid filenames appear as something one would expect when reading a korean webpage whilst selecting the wrong encoding scheme(ie. western-1252) in the browser

I have not evaluated a UTF-8 usage case.

guys, thank you for your testing and comments. At this point in time, that's really not necessary, though. It's known there is a problem. I think it's probably fair to say one cannot expect this will be resolved in one single upload, but will need testing after a patch has been proposed. Currently, there is no such patch to be evaluated on the table. Until that changes the comments are mostly noise, make the ticket harder to read and thus will slow down the resolution rather than helping it.

I kindly ask you to please refrain from commenting unless you want to propose a specific patch (in that case, I think it's better to just attach it to this ticket).

In short, I asserted my intent to contact the original unzip maintainer on this issue.

Meanwhile, I have reviewed your plan and I believe that libnatspec is a viable solution.
Even so, it is my opinion that a patch should be pushed upstream(unzip).
That would be a permanent solution.

Thus, I believe there is reason to try to contact the original unzip maintainer.
If you believe that a reassignment(or un-assignment) is appropriate, please let me know.

For the time being, I think we should concentrate on efforts to "1. get libnatspec into Debian".

Of course this is only a desperate solution, as it temporarily creates files with wrong encoding on the file system. But a desperate solution is still better than no solution at all.

It seems to me (or, maybe, I've missed it) that nobody mentioned an option to manually select the charset for filenames in the archive. This option can be added e.g., to "Archive Manager" and so on (DE-specific tools).

I understand, that auto-detection is highly desired, but it's quite problematic, as far as I can see in this ticket. On the other side, I'm pretty sure, that manual selection option _itself_ would solve the problem for 60%+ of users. Others would find solutions (involving this new charset selector) over Internet. Currently, there are no answers (except of using windows/wine for un[re]packing, or quite complex approaches, like fuse-zip) even for advanced users, which I think is too bad.

Hi,

From the tests that I've done, there are two different bugs about non-ASCII characters in filenames:
 * One reproducible with files created with zip on Linux: unzip shows broken encoding filenames but correctly extracts the files
 * Another reproducible with files created on Windows, probably due to the use if ISO encoding: unzip shows broken encoding filenames and extracted files have a broken encoding as well

I've managed to fixing the first one by compiling unzip with -DNATIVE.
