Details

Description: The symlink flag is not initialized to 0. After unzipping a symlink, other files may be wrongly unzipped as symlinks.

Debian patch: https://sources.debian.org/patches/unzip/6.0-21/06-initialize-the-symlink-flag.patch/

Since the last upstream version was released 9 years ago, I believe this patch should be added.


Additional info:
* tested package version: 6.0-12


Steps to reproduce:
1. Download ex. https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/archive/rpi-4.14.y.zip
2. `unzip rpi-4.14.y.zip`
3. Notice that some files get unzipped as symlinks, with their content as target. ex.: linux-rpi-4.14.y/tools/testing/selftests/timers/rtctest_setdate.c
This task depends upon

Could another developer fix it? Lukas seems inactive for some time.
