Bug ID: 357057
Summary: Ark requires rar and unrar for opening/extracting RAR
archives
Product: ark
Version: 15.12.0
Platform: Other
URL: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=959996
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: elvis.angelac...@kdemail.net
Reporter: wba...@tmo.at
CC: rak...@freebsd.org
Since 15.12.0, ark now requires both rar and unrar being installed. If one is
missing (rar in particular is not installed by default in openSUSE, it is
actually not even included in the distribution), Ark just displays an error
dialog:
Ark was not able to open xxx.rar. Failed to load a suitable plugin.
Make sure any executables needed to handle the archive type are installed.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Uninstall rar if it is installed, make sure unrar is installed
2. Try to open a RAR archive with Ark
Actual Results:
Error message "Failed to load a suitable plugin"
Expected Results:
RAR archive's content should be displayed, as unrar is installed. This was
sufficient in earlier versions.
