Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu.

I was not able to replicate this bug on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy
Jellyfish).

We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested

latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still
present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling

Title:
  unzip -a option fails to detect zipped text files

Status in unzip package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The unzip -a option detects all zipped files as binary.

  The -a option is supposed to auto convert text files, but it never
  seems to work. Have tried it with zipped .c, .h, .txt, and .py files
  moving from windows to linux.
