Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: file-roller
File Roller (file-roller-2.20.1-0ubuntu1) recognizes correctly CBZ files
as archived files in ZIP format. However, even with the rar-1:3.7b1-2
and unrar-1:3.7.3-1.1 installed, File Roller fails to recognize CBR
files as RAR.
Renaming the CBR file to RAR (foo.cbr -> foo.rar) results in the file
being opened correctly. The contrary is the bug being reported here: RAR
to CBR (foo.rar -> foo.cbr) is not recognized. The same for CBZ and ZIP
(foo.cbz -> foo.zip), but File Roller already recognizes foo.cbz and
opens it normally, even in reverse: foo.zip -> foo.cbz is opened
normally.
This bug (unrecognition of cbr as rar) happens when the archive is
opened through nautilus-1:2.20.0-0ubuntu7 (right click->"Open with
Archive Manager"), or within File Roller (Archive->Open). In the last
case, File Roller even closes itself, without any warning.
CBR and CBZ files are called so because normally they contain only image
files (jpg, png, bmp, etc) archived in a rar or zip format, hence the
name CB? (comic book <archive format>).
I'm currently using Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10, updated to day (2/27/8)
