    Package: zip
    Version: 2.30-6
    Severity: wishlist
    File: /usr/bin/zip

    $ unzip radio1989.zip
    Archive: radio1989.zip
    End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
    a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
    latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
    the last disk(s) of this archive.
    unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of radio1989.zip or
    radio1989.zip.zip, and cannot find radio1989.zip.ZIP, period.

    No not period. The user still has hope of reading the file.

    Add: "Or try zcat to read truncated zip files".
