without libzip, Ark will not open zip files. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166986
"Having a look at the output quickly showed the problem; libarchive is used, and not libzip, for opening the zip files. Libarchive is said to support zip files, but from what I read it's hackish and just readonly. Next, examining "dpkg -L ark-kde4" output reveals why this is so; kubuntu does not include the zip plugin it seems. /usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/services /usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/services/kerfuffle_bk.desktop /usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/services/kerfuffle_rar.desktop /usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/services/kerfuffle_libarchive.desktop I did not try ark on kde 4.1.0, but I'm guessing that if they didn't compile with libzip back then they might have been reluctant to change this for 4.1.1 and therefore excluded the zip plugin. Just a guess though. Either way it's a problem with the distro.
