How to unzip on Ubuntu

More for my reference but extracting Zip files in Ubuntu from the command line is pretty straight forward

view plain print about
1$ sudo apt-get install unzip

This should install the unzip utility for you. Then to unzip it's pretty straight forward

view plain print about
1$ unzip {file}
Where {file} is your .zip archive.

follow up... I've been trying to install the unzip command for the past hour now but I get this error:
Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main unzip 6.0-1
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.182 80]
Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/unzip/unzip_6.0-1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.182 80]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
