Comment 15 for bug 580961

@Yannis T:
the method that you described didn't work for me in Lucid, here's a variant that did work:

wget http://www.ops.gr/Ergorama/fileUploads/ypiresiaops/prokirikseis/biografiko.zip
LANG=C 7z x -oPATH biografiko.zip
convmv -r --notest -f cp737 -t utf-8 PATH/*

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.

Whenever the issue is fixed, please don't just put it in Lucid proposed, but in updates, as it's a significant regression for non-English countries.
