Archive Manager: "An error occurred while loading the archive." when trying to unzip password protected archive
When trying to unzip password protected zip archive the following error message appears: "An error occurred while loading the archive." And nothing happens.
Environment:
- Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS (64-bit)
- GNOME Version 3.36.8
- GNOME Archive Manager 3.36.3
- Windowing System: X11
To create password protected zip archive that will be not possible to unzip use the following environment:
- Android Phone (Tested on Redmi 4A with Android 7 and MIUI 10)
-
Total Commander
fromPlay Market
(Tested on version 3.30)
Such archives will not be possible to unzip by unzip
cmd tool.
It produces error: "unsupported compression method 99" (that probably refers to the AES / Advanced Encryption Standard
encryption). 7z
can unzip such archives but with problems: file names have unreadable encoding. Nevertheless amount of files and theirs content are fine.
Probably such behavior is due to used some new packing algorithm (AES) in Total Commander
. In Total Commander
unzipping of such archives goes fine.
