[KPhotoAlbum] Automatic database backup feature out of order ?

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

Phew, you gave me a chock there :-o
It does indeed seem broken, the broken part - fortunately - is that I name the 
index.xml file in the zip file the same as the zipfile, so if you have a look 
at your mail below, you will actually see that you unpacked 
index.xml~0002~.zip out of the zip file with the same name. Second time 
around you ran unzip, it of course failed, as it was not a zip file anymore. 
This is now fixed. Thanks for reporting.
