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.
