--- Comment #9 from Pedro V <voidpointertonull+bugskde...@gmail.com> ---
Duplicate of multiple of various reports around involving files 7z / p7zip
can't handle.
Typically the issue is with symbolic links, and comment 5 showing even just
"com1 -> /dev/ttyS0" is a quite likely candidate for problems as /dev/ttyS0
would be attempted to be added to the archive which would fail and would get
whined about in the output of 7z, but then Ark swallows that error output,
leading to the mess.
For anyone finding this by accident later, this is why 7z isn't used
universally and tar is still being used despite its significant limitations.
The 7-Zip project mostly focuses on Windows, and support for features not
presented or not really used there is poor, so it either gets upset with some
files, or worse case it makes an archive that unpacks into a mess different
than what was intended to be archived, like symbolic links being replaced with
the files they pointed to.
The problem with Ark is not just the lack of error propagation, but even hiding
the error.
Reaping this as it went without additional info for long, and there are
multiple similar enough bug reports anyway.
