Bug ID: 468240
Summary: snap ark 7z plugin does not recognize binary
/usr/bin/7z (but ark installed from ubuntu luna
repository using apt works)
Classification: Applications
Product: ark
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Snap
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: plugins

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Not sure if this is considered a snap store "feature" or an ark bug..... If
you install ark from the snap store (i'm using Ubuntu 23.04 beta, but I
reproduced this on Ubuntu 22.10 as well), and then install p7zip using "sudo
apt install," the ark 7z plugin will not recognize that the 7z binary is
installed in /usr/bin. However, if you install ark using "sudo apt install,"
it will recognize the 7z binary is installed in /usr/bin. On Ubuntu 23.04, the
ark version is the same in the snap store as it is in the lunar lobster
repository (ark version 22.12.3). I also tried this with the 1) 7zz binary
from the official 7zip build and tried 2) renaming the 7zz binary from the
official 7zip build to 7z.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install ark from app store
2. Install p7zip and verify 7z binary is in /usr/bin
3. Run ark installed from snap store. Settings shows the 7z plugin greyed
out. If you try to create a new archive, it does not list 7z as an option.
4. Install ark from luna lobster repository using "sudo apt install ark."
5. Run ark installed using "sudo apt install" and all things 7z work.
OBSERVED RESULT
Run ark installed from snap store. Settings shows the 7z plugin greyed out
even with 7z binary in /usr/bin. If you try to create a new archive, it does
not list 7z as an option.
EXPECTED RESULT
7z plugin recognizes 7z binary in /usr/bin and are able to work with 7z
archives.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 23.04 and 22.10 using snap store version of ark.
