Public bug reported: Binary package hint: file-roller
File-roller cannot open .gz files other than .tar.gz . The file can be viewed, but attempting to extract the file returns an error. Steps to reproduce: 1) Obtain a non-tar .gz file (eg, file.diff.gz , file.txt.gz , file.gz) (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/file-roller/file-roller_2.23.3-0ubuntu2.diff.gz) 2) Open with file-roller (eg, double click in nautilus) 3) Attempt to extract the file displayed (eg, double click or select extract on it) What should happen: 4) The file is successfully extracted. What actually happens: 4) A dialog appears with "An error occurred while extracting files." This can also simply be tested using the "Extract Here" option by right- clicking the file in nautilus. I also tested by making my own .gz files of varying content and name. The command 'gzip' decompresses a file successfully. file-roller/intrepid uptodate 2.23.3-0ubuntu2 ** Affects: file-roller (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- file-roller cannot decompress non-archive .gz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248683 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
