Package: ark Version: 4:3.5.8-1 Severity: important --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
since tar v1.19 an error message is displayed when trying to create a new tar archive; please see the tar 1.19 NEWS.gz file: [...] * Recognition of broken archives. When supplied an archive smaller than 512 bytes in reading mode (-x, -t), the previous version of tar silently ignored it, exiting with code 0. It is fixed. Tar now issues the following diagnostic message: 'This does not look like a tar archive', and exits with code 2. [...] This change seems to affect also -r, since a valid tar archive needs to be opened before appending. In order to create a new archive by right-clicking a file or directory, ark issues a tar rvf /tmp/randomarkdir/randomfilename.tar myfile command while no tarfile exists yet, which causes tar exit code 2 even if the archive has been created successfully. Downgrading tar to etch solves the issue.
