Arch Linux

I'm really not sure what you want me to do with this- bsdtar can handle 90% of zip files out there, but it does have issues with some due to the steam-oriented way libarchive works.

Easiest way to solve problems related to this:
1. Add the 'broken' zip file to the noextract=() array.
2. Add unzip as a makedepend.
3. Unzip the xpi/zip manually.

Your solution is good for all distros, but not for ArchLinux.
I want to use AUR. And "manually" is not possible there.

Manually is more than possible. Extract it with unzip in the build() section of the PGKBUILD, or contact the upstream owners of this xpi.

I know this myself.
But I do not know what to do if I want to submit this thing latter to AUR site???

Maybe I should sent link to here instead of PKGBUILD?

Ahh sry I understood now. :)

No... you... put the instructions in the PKGBUILD. If you submit it to the AUR then it will still be in the PKGBUILD. I'm really confused by what you want...

Even some official PKGBUILDs have things like so:

pkgname=foobar
...
makedepends=(unzip)
...
build() {
cd $startdir/
[ -d $pkgname ] || unzip $pkgname.zip
...normal build steps...
}

If this doesn't make sense, I really don't know what else to tell you. This is not a bug. It can be corrected in less than a second with a one line addition to the PKGBUILD.

ahhh... I told one minute ago that I understood. Just I wrote post before trying to do sth.

And it is bug because in normal way it is impossible to install.

Impossible to write working PKGBUID.

Give me a PKGBUILD that you have. I will make it work.

Removing Dan from list, so he doesn't have to deal with trivialities.

I'm already on the notification list. I don't understand how you can't write a PKGBUILD for this, this is just stupid. If unzip works, it can be done. Period.

Hmm ok try yourself. Link is here. Almost same PKGBUILD is ~spell-ru in community.
Sum is: 433822e1cd000eb91919dca015f58cf9

Here is a PKGBUILD which unzips it and does nothing. Making it real is left as an exercise to the reader.

Again: BROKEN ZIP FILES ARE NOT OUR PROBLEM
