Description

When extracting http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/labplot/labplot_2.7.0-1_armel.deb I get some errors:

$ ./extractcode labplot_2.7.0-1_armel.deb Extracting archives...

Based on a quick check:

$ file *
fit (Anscombe's quartet).lml: gzip compressed data, was "", last modified: Mon Oct 12 08:15:52 2015, from Unix
log_scales.lml:               gzip compressed data, was "", last modified: Tue Jan 20 07:10:57 2015, from Unix
mathematical_functions.lml:   gzip compressed data, was "", last modified: Sun Nov  6 12:51:53 2016, from Unix

So these should be extracted alright and gunzip does it fine.

Repaste from gitter My archive manager is GNOME's File Roller

I just played with nexB/scancode-toolkit#1798. As far as I can tell, the issue is not specific to extractcode. My system by default treated .lml file as an archive and gives the same error when I attempt to unzip it.
