UnZip special compilation options:

        VMS_TEXT_CONV
        [decryption, version 2.9 of 05 May 2000]

if i'm not wrong then these options should be ok. :S

Well, looks OK to me at least.  The Debian package (and thus Ubuntu's
too) has a symlink related fix, from Christian Spieler, no less:

  http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/u/unzip/unzip_5.52-9/changelog
  http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/unzip/unzip_5.52-9.diff.gz

Perhaps this is missing from your version?

Let's check if the ZIP file on our machines match.  In order for
this to succeed we need to first take out any randomness.  Please
apply the patch at the end of the mail, which sets GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
to a fixed value instead of using the current time, run the test
and then this:

  $ md5sum t/trash/d.zip	# run just after t5000-tar-tree.sh
  35f6183b7816960cadfc6cac74530640  t/trash/d.zip

The test passes just fine here, so if the checksums match then your
unzip is most likely to blame.  In this case you can work around
your problem by commenting out the "ln -s" in t5000-tar-tree.sh.

archive: make test repeatable

Set GIT_AUTHOR_DATE to a fixed value, just like it's already done
for GIT_COMMITTER_DATE.  This makes the test repeatable, and
resulting archive files can by compared on mailing lists simply by
comparing their checksums.
