Description Joe Smith 2014-09-07 21:01:17 UTC 
Created attachment 935202 [details]
Patch to process.c (the -X option has never worked on Unix/Linux).

Description of problem: Files extracted with unzip are owned by root:root even when -X is specified.

Version-Release number of selected component: unzip-6.00.12fc20

How reproducible: Attempt to use -X, then use 'ls -l' on extracted files.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a zip file archiving one or more files not owned by root:root.
   (Zip version 3.0) linux# zip /tmp/test.zip /home/*/.cshrc
2. mkdir /tmp/testing; cd /tmp/testing; unzip -X /tmp/test.zip
3. ls -l home/*/*

Actual results:
  All extracted files are owned by root:root.

Expected results:
  Extracted files should have correct owner and group IDs.

Additional info:
   The code for -X depends on preprocessor definitions that are never defined.
   This bug has been patched in Debian, but not RHEL or Fedora.
