A number of quick responses, thank you all as usual. But it appears that Mike Weeks, Mark Day, and Dave Foster have it right. The problem appears to be the unzip executable, not the archive. They report other Solaris unzip versions actually can handle the file, some newer (freshly patched Solaris 10), some older (Solaris 9 unzip may have better luck). But in my case, I'm actually moving the archive from the machine downloading it to another via yet a third server which happens to be a Linux box. The unzip on the old Fedora box handled it just fine, $ unzip -q 10_Recommended.zip $ tar cf - 10_Recommended | gzip > 10_Recommended.tgz So I turned the ZIP archive into a gzipped tarball. But guess what. The Solaris 10 tar doesn't like the tarball, tar: ././@LongLink: typeflag 'L' not recognized, converting to regular file tar: ././@LongLink: typeflag 'L' not recognized, converting to regular file tar: ././@LongLink: typeflag 'L' not recognized, converting to regular file tar: ././@LongLink: typeflag 'L' not recognized, converting to regular file tar: ././@LongLink: typeflag 'L' not recognized, converting to regular file So I had to use /usr/sfw/bin/gtar. Alternately, I could have told the GNU tar on the Linux box to create a "standard" tarball with a "-format ustar" or similar option. Or I could have gotten exotic and used pax(1) or something.
