[Bug 2062535] Re: zip fails when filenames contain unicode characters

[Jg-jguk]

It's broken because the distro producer doesn't take fixing it seriously.
Look how many messages, and still no one rolls out the fixed release. Note the issue is already fixed, it only needs Ubuntu to release the latest version of the zip package.
