Solved [SOLVED] Problem saving modifications in a zipped file using

[elpek]

Hello,

Today one of the users reported me a problem with editing files compressed with zip using mc. When doing so the following error comes up:

uzip (copyin): `unzip' failed - non-zero exit status (10)

From my research the exit status means:

invalid options were specified on the command line.

I'm trying to spot a problem in a source code of an uzip extfs module here: /usr/local/libexec/mc/extfs.d/uzip but unfortunately without luck.

The version of mc and unzip used on my system are:

~ # pkg info | grep -E "mc-4|unzip"
mc-4.8.12_2                    Midnight Commander, a free Norton Commander Clone
unzip-6.0_2                    List, test, and extract compressed files from a ZIP archive

Did anyone have a similar problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Solution:

There is a bug in misc/mc Makefile that sets the value of a variable incorrect:

ZIP=${UNZIP_CMD}

I've already submitted a patch to the port. For anyone having similar problem before the Makefile gets fixed a quick solution is to edit /usr/local/libexec/mc/extfs.d/uzip and correct the value of:

my $app_zip = /usr/local/bin/unzip

with:

my $app_zip = /usr/local/bin/zip

After doing so mc works with zip archives as expected.
