[Bug 1388538] Re: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Kubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Kubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Kubuntu version. If you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once: apport-collect 1388538 and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. ** Changed in: kubuntu-ppa Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Kubuntu PPA. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388538 Title: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1388538/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1388538] Re: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix
Hello, I just wanted to say that there is an easy workaround for this bug in 14.04 LTS. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35371#c98 The resulting line in that file would be: MimeType=application/x-java-archive;application/zip; As Mahendra Tallur says here above, so important bugs should be fixed in an LTS release. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of LTS itself: isn't LTS supposed to receive bugfix-only updates? This is indeed a bugfix. Anyway, I don't exactly understand what Flames_in_Paradise meant to say. I'd be curious to understand why the patch (successfully implemented in the following releases) isn't being backported to 14.04.

[Bug 1388538] Re: Ark fails to produce zip archive instead making gzip with the zip suffix
Hi ! Bug still affects the LTS users (Kubuntu 14.04 LTS with the KDE backports PPA enabled). Can people using Kubuntu 15.10 confirm it was fixed meanwhile ? Result is that Windows users cannot read the archives sent to them. Maybe it's too late to fix it anyway. for the current LTS. Out of curiosity, Is there a way to help put the focus on some bugs like this that seem to be understood, have important consequences on users, that could supposedly be worked around easily but which remain unfixed ? Especially for LTS releases. I guess it's very difficult as developers are flooded with bug reports, I clearly do not blame them !

This Bug is quite annoying, as you do not notice it. The Archive is correctly generated and I can unpack it. But when I send this file to others, they cannot unpack it!!
