Description Jasem Mutlaq 2016-08-26 08:28:01 UTC

Using latest KDE Neon packages, when I extract a zip file in Dolphin, all the zip file subdirectories have their permission set to 700!! I tried it multiple times and it always sets them to 700. When using unzip command directly, the permissions are fine (775)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unzip a file using ark
2. Check permission of subdirectories


Actual Results:  
Permission 700

Expected Results:  
Permission 755

Does this happen with every zip archive or only with one? I just tried a random zip archive and permission of extracted folders was 755.

Comment 2 Jasem Mutlaq 2016-08-28 09:19:19 UTC

Yes it happens on all zipped files, I just tried it on another computer with latest KDE Neon packages and the same result

Can you try unzipping with 7z from command line?

7z x foo.zip

Yes and same result with Ark. So something broken with the compression library somehow?

I see that ubuntu ships a very old version of p7zip (9.20.1). Can you confirm?

This really looks like a bug in p7zip, you can try to report it against the ubuntu package: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/

In the meantime, you could use the following workaround: edit the file ~/.config/arkrc and add the following two lines:

[EnabledPlugins]
kerfuffle_cli7z=false

This will make Ark use unzip instead of 7z, but please do note that unzip has its own set of bugs (in particular with encoding of filenames).

Thanks!! Will file a bug on Launchpad!
