Package: cabextract
Version: 1.9-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

During the extraction of any .cab files which are extracted from a .exe file by 
the tool, the operation fails with the following error: "no valid cabinets 
found".
I encountered the issue because Winetricks uses the tool for Microsoft Visual 
C++ Redistributable 2010 to workaround a bug involving the installation of 64 
bit DLLs.
With the Microsoft DirectX setup, instead, nearly half of the cabinets are 
extracted correctly, as I can open them with Ark, and the other half is 
corrupted.

I tried to compile the tool from source code, version 1.9, and it works as 
expected.

Best regards,
Davide
