I discussed this problem with zip/unzip maintainers. They write this behavior is right because it is technically trivial to delete password-protected files from archives. If the removal without password wasn't allowed someone could change it and it would be worse problem. That's why upstream does not try to do this operation password-protected, and lets this operation be this way. Users will be better aware what can be done password-protected and what can't. I think this is good reason to leave unzip this way. Thank you for your notice. |
