Re: Viewing contents of AR archive in KDE
Thanks for the suggestion, I just now installed libarchive-ar-perl, but Ark still cannot recognize AR archive :-( Strangely, it can open .DEB which is also a type of AR archive, but not pure AR archives themselves. -- Satish.BD On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 15:59, Iuri Guilherme dos Santos Martins iuri.guilherme@gmail.com wrote: Also check if you have the proper libraries My search returned this package: libarchive-ar-perl Maintained by: Debian Perl Group pkg-perl-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Viewing contents of AR archive in KDE
Hi, Like y'all know, AR archive is used for static libraries [ libxyz.a ]. When opening it with Ark (KDE 4.4.5, Squeeze), it pops with with error Unable to determine archive type. Instead it presents a list of all archive formats which it recognizes, but this list does not include AR archive. I know that I can view/extract the archive using CLI (ar t and ar x) but would like to do it in GUI mode, with Ark. Note that, I'm not interested in modifying the archive, just view it and extract it to a temporary folder. It was working in KDE 3.5 (also with Gnome's Fileroller). I also asked this question in Debian forums and IRC, but no satisfactory answer.

Re: Squeeze-updates not working
Thanks Bob, Tom and Porcia ! Bob's Bohr model of linux kernel was an excellent one. I was just curious to know the nomenclature of that package now i have an idea of what happens. I'm happy with current kernel because all my hardware is detected/working properly, so I find no reason to upgrade to 3.1.x.y. I must congratulate Debian team for making Squeeze -- I mean, it refuses to crash ! -- Satish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
