[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56700] unzip with one argument does not unzip to the current working directory

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #56700 (project octave):

                Severity:              3 - Normal => 2 - Minor              
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Summary:          Unzip from URL => unzip with one argument
does not unzip to the current working directory

Follow-up Comment #1:

This looks to me like a symptom of a larger class: unzip with one argument
does not unzip contents to the current working directory, but to the parent
directory of the zip file. Doesn't matter if that's a URL or a local file
name.

The following


unzip ("/home/user/foo.zip")


extracts the contents of the zip file into /home/user, not into the current
working directory. And the following


unzip ("/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/lib/src.zip")


fails with a permission denied error. But


unzip ("/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/lib/src.zip", pwd)


works as expected.
