If you are going to fix this bug, use the upstream patch rather than the one attached here which is horribly broken.

Allan can you take care of it, i don't have the time right now, sorry for breaking the package.
Looked like a simple one liner to me.

Please change "Zip Archive data" to "Zip archive data" in upstream patch.
