I actually did this two days ago, and it worked for me like a charm with a
simple unzip (I found the following still in my terminal scrollback buffer)

tq at tquarits /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local % sudo unzip

Maybe it depends on the unzip version, mine is the following

tq at tquarits ~ % unzip -v
