Its a common problem that, when unzipping (read: 'open by double-click'), some .zip files result in a similar sized .cpgz file. But you expected an unzipped file or folder instead. The default unzip program in OS X is '/System/Library/CoreServices/Archive Utility.app' When you try to unzip it in the Terminal (/usr/bin/unzip) you see the following: $ unzip SE.zip Archive: SE.zip warning [SE.zip]: zipfile claims to be last disk of a multi-part archive; attempting to process anyway, assuming all parts have been concatenated together in order. Expect "errors" and warnings...true multi-part support doesn't exist yet (coming soon). error [SE.zip]: missing 8256083459 bytes in zipfile (attempting to process anyway) error [SE.zip]: attempt to seek before beginning of zipfile (please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly) I have Mavericks 10.9.5 running, and a unzip -v learns us we are on version 5.52: $ unzip -v UnZip 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Info-ZIP. Maintained by C. Spieler. Send bug reports using http://www.info-zip.org/zip-bug.html ; see README for details. ... The funny thing is, the same 'corrupt' zip file extracts fine on my CentOS system. There is no error and the file seems fine. My CentOS system runs unzip version 6.00: $ unzip -v UnZip 6.00 of 20 April 2009, by Info-ZIP. Maintained by C. Spieler. Send bug reports using http://www.info-zip.org/zip-bug.html ; see README for details. ... My question: How can I update my version of unzip to version 6.00 or higher? And affiliated question: Will my new version of OS X unzip also have affect on the default unzip 'Archive Utility.app'? ps. *I prefer the use of a package manager like brew above compiling from source. brew install unzip results in: Error: No available formula for unzip*
