Unzipping files larger than 4GB

If you try to unzip large files, around 4GB or more and you come across an error similar to this one:

skipping: data.filext need PK compat. v4.5 (can do v2.1)
skipping: data2.filext need PK compat. v4.5 (can do v2.1)

Then install p7zip-full from the Ubuntu repository and you can then issue the command:

7za e filename.zip

...to unzip such files.

Thank you to ubuntuforums members for this tip.
