Makes sense. I had thought gzip handled zip files but it turns out gzip can only unzip when the archive contains a single file (a la gz files) and only when the method is "deflated".

There are (relatively) few packages with zip sources so it wouldn't be a huge job to add "BuildDepends: unzip", but maybe this situation is something fink could me made to detect and handle automatically? Would it be worth the trouble?

Fink could certainly add an implicit builddepends if 'unzip' is not available. Or we could find an unzipping perl module and use that :)

I actually found a perl mod to unzip (depends on compress-zlib-pm), see my experimental directory, and: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Archive-Zip

There is a /usr/bin/unzip on my system, could it be Mac OS X 10.2 & Darwin 6.6 includes this now? (I never knowingly install anything in /usr/bin myself)
