Description Sasha Medvedev 2013-06-18 12:14:37 UTC
xarchiver is trying to work with 7z files with the help of xz utility. This makes 7z archives unusable with xarchiver. Disabling add_xz_support.patch solves the issue. I guess the problem is in these two lines of the patch:

+	else if (memcmp ( magic,"\xFD7zXZ\x00\0x00",3) || memcmp ( magic, "\xFD7zXZ\x00\0x10",3) == 0)
+		xx = XARCHIVETYPE_XZ;



Reproducible: Always

Either a patch is provided or we will need to treeclean this as nobody is taking care of this
