[Bug 220654] Re: unzip will not open 256 AES zip files

[Christopher M. Penalver]

** Summary changed:

- file-roller will not open 256 AES zip files
+ unzip will not open 256 AES zip files

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: file-roller
  
  Winzip and many other zip programs can now produce zip files that are
- protected by 256 AES encryption.  FIle-roller in ubuntu cannot handle
- these zips.  The files within the zips are shown fine but when you try
- and extract the following error occurs:
