=== Getting Midnight Commander (mc) to list files in zip archives ===
The solution is simple: edit the file /usr/share/mc/extfs/uzip search for the following line:

my $op_has_zipinfo = 0;
and change it to
my $op_has_zipinfo = 1;
And that's it. You might need to restart Midnight Commander, but browsing zip archives should be working now.
