Thanks for your help. I am sorry that (for obvious reasons) I cannot submit my code base.
I can guess that the problem could be due to the SVN repo file structure creating conditions which cause the error - at least that is what the symptoms suggest to me. If you would like me to create a new SVN repo, I might be able to do this, but I am assuming that you would know how to do this too. I am using SVN through Netbeans (although I think my repo was created on an earlier version of SVN than the one prebundled with the version of Netbeans I am using). A quick look at the SVN plugin in my version of Netbeans contains the following information: Version: 1.37.1.42.1 Source: NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 (Build 201411181905). I do not archive anything else - I use the archiving utility primarily for the encryption. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513293 Title: Archive Manager has spontaneously stopped working on all archives. Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This problem appears to have spontaneously arisen for me in 14.4. I am using the following version of file-roller to manage archives of an SVN code base: $ apt-cache policy file-roller file-roller: Installed: 3.10.2.1-0ubuntu4.1 Candidate: 3.10.2.1-0ubuntu4.1 Version table: *** 3.10.2.1-0ubuntu4.1 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.10.2.1-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages This application has suddenly decided to display the "An error occurred when extracting files" dialogue when accessing any of my archives - some dating back to July. I have tried copies of my archives from multiple media, and they all appear to have the same problem. More specifically, there is at least one file (/svn/db/write-lock) in this code base that has the problem when I extract files manually. It is zero bytes in length and displays a lock icon along with every other file - I conclude this is because, like all the other files, it would be encrypted if it contained any data. Hence, my problem appears to be a problem with the Archive Manager itself, and may have arisen from changes consequent to my last software update. I try to unzip an archive from the command line and get the following: $ unzip 2015-10-18.zip -d ~ Archive: 2015-10-18.zip creating: /home/owen/svn/ [2015-10-18.zip] svn/format password: extracting: /home/owen/svn/format inflating: /home/owen/svn/README.txt creating: /home/owen/svn/db/ extracting: /home/owen/svn/db/current extracting: /home/owen/svn/db/format error: invalid compressed data to inflate I can extract the archive without incident on an old windows machine and have put comments about my problem to the Ubuntu forums, but have yet to receive an answer that would reasonably accord with the problem I am experiencing. I am perhaps just a little anxious, but relieved somewhat that I can still access my archives from another computer. Help would be much appreciated.
