snapshot.debian.org is partially down at the moment so I had to fetch library.zip from a different source. Big surprise: This looks a lot like an ELF executable: $ md5sum library.zip 515f777ed2eff186fb7f63ff489979d0 library.zip $ file library.zip library.zip: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped $ hd library.zip 00000000 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |.ELF............| 00000010 02 00 3e 00 01 00 00 00 20 3c 41 00 00 00 00 00 |..>..... <A.....| (...) 00000200 2f 6c 69 62 36 34 2f 6c 64 2d 6c 69 6e 75 78 2d |/lib64/ld-linux-| 00000210 78 38 36 2d 36 34 2e 73 6f 2e 32 00 04 00 00 00 |x86-64.so.2.....| 00000220 10 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 47 4e 55 00 00 00 00 00 |........GNU.....| (...) Also the actual code looks sane. So I'm guessing this is a self-extracting executable. Never saw that in Linux before. Will have to check, and the wishlist bug against file was to identfy that kind of file. Christoph
