Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdeutils


Just a hint:
This seems to be the same bug as in the mandriva distribution:
Bug.No: 26306, as seen in:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.mandrake.cooker.devel/227371

Steps to reproduce:
------------------------------

Just create a file named "memo.txt":

Adding the file to a ZIP-Archive results in an error message:

"zip warning: missing end signature-probably not a zip file
(did you remember to use binary mode when you transferred it?)
zip error: Zip file structure invalid (memo.txt)"

The error doesn't depend on performing this action via the Konqueror
context menu or via ARK itself.

This seems to be the same error if you confuse the filename of the archive
and the filename(s) of the file(s) to compress with "zip" (Info-Zip 2.31) in a 
console session.

If the file to add is missing a suffix (just "memo" in our example) the
error message differs:
"zip warning: memo.zip not found or empty"

So it seems that "Ark" thinks that we gave a zip file as parameter, not
a file to compress.

** Affects: kdeutils (Ubuntu)
