[Bug 1361740] Re: symlink error: File name too long

[Rodrigo Alvarez]

I too have been affected by this bug.  In particular, when downloading
the following file from github

In Ubuntu 14.04 (ARM-hf)
sudo apt-get install unzip
wget https://github.com/Xilinx/linux-xlnx/archive/xlnx_3.17.zip
unzip xlnx_3.17.zip

This results in some filenames becoming corrupt. For examples
ls linux-xlnx-xlnx_3.17/fs/f2fs/

Will show one filename with a corrupted name that has been replaced by a
code segment.

** Changed in: unzip (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

  The symptom is that under some circumstances, files become corrupted
  during extraction. This seems to be a common problem when downloading
  zipped snapshots of the Linux kernel from sites like github.com.
