Related bug: #451926 password support http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451926 'ark' stalls attempting to view a file within an encrypted '.zip'. My mail reader 'sylpheed' uses 'ark' to open archives. When 'ark' stalled on an encrypted zip file, both 'ark' and 'sylpheed' hung, and had to be killed. Example of stalling: # encrypt text file 'foo' in 'bar.zip', pw=melon % B=/tmp/bar.zip ; F=/tmp/foo ; echo hello > $F ; zip -P melon $B $F adding: tmp/foo (stored 0%) % ark $B 'ark' opens 'bar.zip'; click on 'foo', 'ark' displays "Extracting file to view" to the left of a progress bar, endlessly. 'htop' showed 'ark' was waiting for this: unzip -n /tmp/bar.zip tmp/foo -d /tmp/kde-yourname/ark2PEYGA/ Test: % unzip -n $B tmp/foo -d /tmp/ ; echo $? Archive: /tmp/bar.zip [/tmp/bar.zip] tmp/foo password: ...so 'unzip' waits for a password, which it never gets, and 'ark' waits on that. Short term kludge, add a '-P ""' to the extraction: % unzip -P "" -n $B tmp/foo -d /tmp/ ; echo $? Archive: /tmp/bar.zip skipping: tmp/foo incorrect password 82 An error, but no stalling. It works for unencrypted files too: % echo hello > $F; zip $B $F adding: tmp/foo (stored 0%) % unzip -P "" -n $B tmp/foo -d /tmp/ ; echo $? Archive: /tmp/bar.zip extracting: /tmp/tmp/foo 0 (Perhaps an 'unzip' bug -- it accepted a useless switch without returning an error.)
