Examined the particular file further. It is a .cbr file - I misspoke when I said it was .cbz. It appears to have a corrupt header. That means the real problem is that evince is responding with the wrong error message - it's saying "I can't open this type of file" when what it really means is "I can't open this particular file". A bit like saying you don't like Australians just because you once met Rupert Murdoch.
To test this more general hypothesis, I created a text file, filled it with gibberish, and saved it as foo.cbr. I double-clicked to open it in evince, and got the same "File type RAR archive (application/x-rar) is not supported" message. So it appears that an exception is getting swallowed and something is making a faulty guess as to the reason. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894576 Title: .cbz files don't open, error message says rar archives not supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/894576/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
