Thanks in advance.
You still haven't provided enough information to know what this has to do with kindleunpack.

A dual mobi might or might not have apnx like information for kindleunpack to split out.

As DiapDealer wrote you have to supply an apnx file for kindleunpack to make an EPUB containing page-map.xml from KF7/mobi KF8/azw3.

For books delivered by amazon, there may or may not be an apnx file to deliver and even if there is amazon server glitchyness may cause it to not be delivered.

I have seen books where the HTML has no pagination information but an apnx file was delivered and books with pagination information but no apnx file delivered and page numbers not touted on the ebook product page. (The product page listing is not completely reliable regarding page numbers and x-ray even taking into account server glitchyness.)
