unzip

On Ubuntu I was required to install unzip to handle zip files.
sudo aptitude install -y unzip
Also, current stable version of jquery.ui is jquery-ui-1.8.2.zip, although your version is also available and active.

the unzip is documented in install.txt

jquery ui latest requires jquery_update module, which has no stable release available and breaks many existing forms.

bit off-topic

Afaik upgrading to jquery update 6.x-2.0-alpha1 or 6.x-2.x-dev automatically upgrades your drupal installation beyond jquery-1.3. From jquery-1.3 onwards xpath-selectors were deprecated in favour of css3-selectors. This is most often what trips up older modules. This is D6-specific, D7 already rolls out with jquery 1.4, i think.

Also, running jquery 1.4.1 or higher may trip up json parsing (e.g. ajaxSubmit used in Views 2). See Views not compatible with jquery 1.4.
Heine solved this for Drupal 7 with his new drupal_json_encode function. Or check-out this quick solution: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.parseJSON/#comment-50673645.
In both cases, I believe jquery_update is just the messenger of unsolved issues within drupal-contrib.

Else, do not install jquery_update and stick with jquery-1.3.2 (edit: through your build files), but know that you cannot go beyond jquery-ui-1.6.

and looking at your post I'm beginnning to think that you knew all this already. I'll shut up now. :-)

So I had the same issue as

So I had the same issue as this on ubuntu 9.10, but I had unzip installed. Finally figured out that my unzip wasn't working so I had to uninstall it and install it again.

sudo aptitude remove unzip
sudo aptitude install unzip

Hope that helps someone cause it took me way to long to figure that out.
