Public bug reported:
Currently (in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 12.10) File-Roller isn't associated
with Microsoft Cabinet archive filetype (application/vnd.ms-cab-
compressed) and users doesn't know how to open CAB archives in Ubuntu
:(, see for example this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5273
/how-do-you-view-the-contents-of-a-cab-file
Please add Microsoft Cabinet archive filetype (application/vnd.ms-cab-
compressed) to MimeType field of data/file-roller.desktop.in (or file-
roller.desktop.in.in - I don't know which one should be patched) file
and add p7zip-full to Suggests or Recommends (p7zip-full package is
installed by file-roller automatically, when I tried to open .cab file
with File-Roller).
I'm attaching a patch, which adds application/vnd.ms-cab-compressed) to
MimeType field of file-roller.desktop
Btw, It seems Ubuntu developers forgot to add p7zip package to Suggests
- Debian package depends on p7zip, but Ubuntu developers removed this
dependency and forgot to add p7zip to Suggests :(
