Description n1ghtmare 2013-07-12 15:25:59 UTC
with unrar-5.x it is impossible to correctly display the file sizes (everything is shown as 0 bytes) and to unpack any files from rar archives with file-roller. only workaround that works for me is to mask the unrar-5.x series and revert back to unrar-4.2.4. this also happens if you choose to use unrar via console...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade to unrar-5.x and try to unpack rar archives with file-roller or console
2.
3.

You mean it will fail also from commandline (console) by using the `unrar` command? Then what does this have to do with file-roller, or why it's assigned to the GNOME team who doesn't maintain unrar?

So to get started:

1. provide output of `emerge --info`
2. failing .rar achive as attachment here
3. actual output of the `unrar` failing, preferably using debug symbols[1]

This is fixed in file-roller-3.8.4-r1 and higher
