Description Carioca 2015-03-02 13:03:34 UTC 
Neither Windows nor 7-Zip nor unzip (terminal) can read zip-archives from ark. Error-message is that it is not an archive or the archie is brocken.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
obvious

Actual Results:  
obvious

Expected Results:  
obvious

Please attach some archive created with Ark that presents this problem.

invalid zip-file created by Ark

This is the output of the command unzip:

  “End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of test-archive.zip or
        test-archive.zip.zip, and cannot find test-archive.zip.ZIP, period.”

I think everybody can test it by creating a zip file with Ark and try to open it in the terminal or on MS Windows (Ark can open it).

Comment 4 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2015-03-22 23:13:33 UTC 
This is a Kubuntu problem, as described in bug 340456 -- they have incorporated a patch from Debian to move to libarchive for handling zip files, but stuck with an older, broken version of the patch that does not handle archive creation correctly.

Please contact the Kubuntu packagers, there's even an open bug report about this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-baseapps/+bug/1387924).
