I'm not familiar with that issue, but you can set the path to any extractor in /etc/atool.conf or ~/.atoolrc # ~/.atoolrc path_zip /path/to/preferred/b

I'm not familiar with that issue, but you can set the path to any extractor in /etc/atool.conf or ~/.atoolrc # ~/.atoolrc path_zip /path/to/preferred/bin/zip See atool(1) for details. http://linux.die.net/man/1/atool http://linux.die.net/man/1/atool As far as I know, different zip formats are not auto-detected. However, it does (optionally) use file(1) to detect the file format, which can be overridden with the 'path_file' option, so a hack may be possible?
