I noticed this zip file issue on a zip file created by v5.04. I don't have this problem in files created by 5.1.1.

I checked the changelogs but couldn't find any mention/fix for this kind of problem so I want to make sure that this does not fall through the cracks. Please ignore if fixed already (even though not mentioned in the changelogs - or in case I was blind).

The issue is basically that the zip archive contains duplicate "file paths" and hence unzipping throws "file exists" errors.

Here is the relevant listing of the zip file

Oops, looks like something got clipped while pasting ...

The example below makes more sense hopefully :-) Please check for example installation/platform/js/main.js which is listed twice.

This is actually in the our announcement and it's the reason we had the betas of the 5.1 release:

Version 5.0.4 introduced a bug where automatic restoration failed, as two files which didn’t belong there were being included in the backup archive as part of the restoration script.


The actual problem is that the restoration script is actually two parts. A common part and a platform-specific part. Akeeba Backup 5.0.4 accidentally included the platform part for WordPress in the common part and correctly added the Joomla platform inside the backup archive as well. Therefore the files which were common between the WordPress and Joomla platforms resulted in duplicate paths in the ZIP file (the files are added, not replaced, at this stage). We fixed that in 5.1.0.b1. Thank you for the heads up anyway :)
