Owen, to see which versions of unzip can be easily installed, run: apt-
cache show unzip | grep ^Version

Then use apt-get install unzip=version --- replace the "version" with an
older version number.

On my system it looks like:
$ apt-cache show unzip | grep ^Version
Version: 6.0-9ubuntu1.4
Version: 6.0-9ubuntu1
$ sudo apt-get install unzip=6.0-9ubuntu1

Once you're done with your testing, a new 'apt-get upgrade' should bring your 
unzip back to the newest.
