Problem with *.zip archives

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I'm testing the current status of uscan in devtools Git and noticed the
following when trying to update cimg-dev and mothur ... both coming as
zip archives:

$ LANG=C uscan --verbose --force-download --repack --repack-compression xz
...
     CImg-1.2.2.1.zip (1.2.2.1)

Any idea what might went wrong here?


Kind regards
