Hello,

I have a brand new install of debian testing, brand new install of minecraft today. Launcher is 1.3.7. When I try to launch the game, I get the following in the console:

[03:56:32 ERROR]: Couldn't unpack natives!
java.util.zip.ZipException: zip file is empty

Trying to launch 1.7.2 and 1.7.4. Tried 1.6.1 for the heck of it, same thing. More info:

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_21"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.3.9) (7u21-2.3.9-5)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)

$ uname -r

$ cat /etc/issue

Thanks!

Any ideas? Thanks!
