Hi,
in the past used zimdump successfully with Gutenberg multigigabytes .zim, however failed to dump files as these:

https://download.kiwix.org/zim/stack_exchange/beer.stackexchange.com_en_all_2023-11.zim
https://download.kiwix.org/zim/stack_exchange/ai.stackexchange.com_en_all_2023-10.zim

[sanmayce@djudjeto3 download.kiwix.org_zim]$ ls -l

What is wrong, are all these files corrupt, what is the workaround/fix?
