Bug Description

I have a .zip file which I am trying to extract using the context menu, as I am using the graphical desktop version. The uncompressing works fine except when it encounters some kind of invalid file which presumably is invalid according to some CRC check.

No information is provided on the invalid file. There is no apparent effort to restore the contents 'on a best effort' basis'. No exception log is generated.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.
