As I am WordPress plugin developer I need program to be in zip file.When I create zip file with ark the php/WordPress always show me error "The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature". If same folder I create with wine(7zip) program it will work.So I think there is some bug for creating zip with ark. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Right click on folder. 2.Create zip file 3.Upload zip file to WordPress plugin management will give error. Actual Results: "The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature". Expected Results: The zip file should be extracted by php/WordPress. As it is working fine with Wine(7Zip).
Thanks for the report. Does it happen to any file you try to create or a specific one? Can you attach a faulty file to this report?

Plz find attached zip file.If I try to extract attached zip with php.I get error. "The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature". If I create zip with wine(7zip) it simply work. Thanks
That's a TAR gzip file. Are you sure you selected the right compression type when creating the file?
Created attachment 89370 [details] Screenshot how I am creating zip Hello I have created zip by RightClick on folder-->Compress-->As Zip Archive I have also attached screenshot for same. Is it not right way to create zip file ? I am new in kubuntu.Please let me know rightway to create zip in kubuntu. Thanks
Hmm, that should work. What Kubuntu version are you using? Can you do the following on a terminal: * Run kdebugdialog, type "ark" in the search box and check both "1601 ark (kdeutils)" and "ark". * Go to the directory that has the folder you want to compress. * Run "ark --changetofirstpath --add --autofilename zip <the folder you want>". * Paste the output you get here in the bug.

Right, thanks. This is a problem with Kubuntu's packaging -- a while ago Debian decided to use libarchive for handling ZIP files instead of the infozip packages we use here. Kubuntu then followed suit, but looking its patch seems to be based on an older version of the Debian one. Please file a bug report in Kubuntu's bug tracker explaining the situation.
I have added bug to ubuntu but still there is no replay and it is till unassigned. Plz look it here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-baseapps/+bug/1387924
The component there should probably be "ark", and I guess it helps if you keep the subject short. I'm afraid that's all I can do to help, as I'm not involved with the (K)ubuntu packaging process.
