For whatever the reason, unzip-6.0-4ubuntu1 still doesn't support choosing the codepage and it uses CP866 (cyrillic) by default. This is a very bad choice. The default should be CP437 as is the default used by IBM BIOS, MS-DOS, VGA, etc. It should *also* be configurable via commandline option.
Meanwhile, incorrectly extracted filenames can be fixed by convmv -f UTF-8 -t CP866 -r --notest . # Undo the incorrect conversion done by unzip convmv -f CP437 -t UTF-8 -r --notest . # Convert CP437 (MS-DOS charset) into UTF-8 (what Linux systems should use nowadays) If your zip actually uses something else, replace CP437 with the applicable DOS codepage (and remove --notest to do dry runs without actually renaming anything while testing different options). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to a duplicate bug report (34667). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580961 Title: unzip fails to deal correctly with filename encodings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/file-roller/+bug/580961/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
