In `buster` 10.2 /usr/share/libfm/archivers.list contains: [xarchiver] create=xarchiver --add-to %F extract=xarchiver --extract %F extract_to=xarchiver --extract-to %d %F
Referencing `man xarchiver(1)` it would appear that --add-to is an invalid option. To "create" and archive the option is `--compress`. Using su privileges edit /usr/share/libfm/archivers.list to change the `create` stanza: [xarchiver] create=xarchiver --compress %F extract=xarchiver --extract %F extract_to=xarchiver --extract-to %d %F Simply Log out of the session or reboot to recover expected behaviour. I have resolved the problem on 3no Debian `buster` 10.2 (amd64) machines with this work-around. Dave, G1OGY
