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!
