Package: unzip Version: 6.0-9 Severity: normal Tags: patch When unzipping some large zipfiles with many entries, unzip may sometimes treat regular files as symlinks if a symlink appeared earlier in the zipfile. This can be seen with:
$ wget https://github.com/mono/mono/archive/master.zip $ zipinfo master.zip | grep 'HeaderText.aspx$' -rw---- 0.0 fat 1073 bx defN 13-Jul-08 16:47 mono-master/mcs/class/System.Web/Test/mainsoft/MainsoftWebApp/System_Web_UI_WebControls/DataGridColumn/DataGridColumn_HeaderText.asp $ unzip master.zip [...] finishing deferred symbolic links: mono-master/mcs/class/System.Configuration/System.Configuration_test_net_2_0.dll.config -> Test/App.config mono-master/mcs/class/System.Configuration/System.Configuration_test_net_4_0.dll.config -> Test/App.config mono-master/mcs/class/System.Configuration/System.Configuration_test_net_4_5.dll.config -> Test/App.config mono-master/mcs/class/System.Web/Test/mainsoft/MainsoftWebApp/System_Web_UI_WebControls/DataGridColumn/DataGridColumn_HeaderText.aspx -> <%@ Page Language="c#" AutoEventWireup="false" [... more cruft from the contents of the file ...] You can unzip the file individually without any problems, though: $ unzip master.zip mono-master/mcs/class/System.Web/Test/mainsoft/MainsoftWebApp/System_Web_UI_WebControls/DataGridColumn/DataGridColumn_HeaderText.aspx The problem seems to be that unzip reuses memory without properly reinitializing it.
