Package: xarchiver
Version: 1:0.5.4-1+deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to use xarchiver to open a .deb file, but was presented with an error 
along the lines of 'Can't run the archiver executable: Failed to execute child 
process "ar" (No such file or directory)'.

The "ar" command is provided by the "binutils" package, and installing this 
package allowed me to open .deb files using xarchiver.

Given that xarchiver relies on a command provided by the "binutils" package, I 
would have expected that it would be a suggested package for xarchiver.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Russell Ault
