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.

Re: Viewing contents of AR archive in KDE
Well, maybe it could be an issue with Ark itself, you have lightweight options you could test, like XArchiver and Squeeze -- 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.
