Hello ! Where's the working solution made in Ubuntu: 1) Add the repositories referenced at * https://launchpad.net/~frol/+archive/zip-i18n/ - Zip/unzip patched to use 'libnatspec', patches are taken from AltLinux, updated to apply to zip 3.0 and unzip 6.0, console output fixed. Work is done by humble Russian developer who neglects worldwide sites objecting his poor English, I have contacted him. Here's Google translation of the original publication: http://goo.gl/paR5i , along with discussion board and author's spam-cloaked email. * https://launchpad.net/~r0lf/+archive/ppa - libnatspec, it's dependency ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/natspec/ ). The library itself originates from Russian company http://etersoft.ru, it makes Russian business software run on Linux with modified commercial Wine clone and compatibility layers for MS SQL etc. 2) apt-get update; apt-get install zip unzip
After installing this software in Ubuntu 10.11 amd64, my file-roller Gnome GUI reads and writes ZIP archives compatible with Wine-run GUI 7z for Windows. Please, test this with your native non-latin languages other than Russian, and take appropriate action for inclusion into Debian if good or bugreporting/fixing if broken.
