Solutions

1. Verify the downloaded zip archive is valid (unzip -t) and re-download if corrupt
2. Check available disk space and write permissions on the cache folder
3. Ensure the archive actually contains the expected browser/driver binary

When it happens

Common situations: Occurs when unzipping a downloaded archive fails or extracts fewer files than expected, typically from an incomplete or corrupted download. Re-run with a stable network connection and clear the Selenium Manager cache (~/.cache/selenium) if the problem persists.
