I have been able to reproduce the bug. Similarly to Miguel, I did the
following :
1) I created a folder, in which I created a few text files. I named one of
them example.zip.
2) I then selectionned the files I created, right-clicked on them
and chosed "Créer une archive" ("Create an archive") in the drop-down menu
3) In the dialog popping up, I selected the .zip extension and filled in
"example" as name
4) I then clicked on "Créer" ("Create").
5) A dialog popped up : "L'archive existe déjà. Voulez-vous l'écraser ?"
("The archive exists already. Do you want to overwrite it ?). I clicked on
"Overwrite".
6) After the first dialog disappeared, another appeared :
"Une erreur s'est produite durant l'ajout de fichiers à l'archive."
"Vous ne pouvez pas ajouter une archive dans elle-même."
Meaning :
"An error occured during the addition of files to the archive"
"You can not add an archive to itself"
I then clicked on "Valider" ("Ok"), which was the only button available.
After this, the file example.zip that was previously in the folder had
disappeared.
I added in French the messages I got when reproducing the bug in case my
translation into
English is wrong.
Also, my version of Ubuntu is 8.04, and the zip package installed on my
computer is 2.32-1.
I confirmed the bug.
Output of "uname -a" :
