[Comment 1 Mikle Kolyada (RETIRED) 2013-12-16 14:16:07 UTC]

still can't reproduce

[Comment 2 Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) 2016-05-08 21:02:45 UTC]

I can reproduce. 

The problem is Archive-Rar is entirely broken, because its parsing a structure emitted by 

  rar vt -y <RARFILE>

That hasn't existed in goodness knows how long.

Its broken upstream, but why exactly is not obvious, and its not obvious how to fix either.

And I get the same behaviour, regardless of which version of app-arch/rar I have installed.

Its bad enough I'd even suggest hard-masking it until upstream gets around to fixing it, because $rar->List() pretty much can't be expected to work like this.

I'd expect if zlogene tried to reproduce today, he could.

[Comment 3 Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) 2016-05-08 21:18:10 UTC]

Looks like Rar 5 broke the output format Archive::Rar was using.

Patrick tested about 8 days after the first incarnation of Rar 5 entered tree.

And the last version of Rar 4 fell out of tree as recently as last december:

So we've got 2 choices here:

- Revert that commit and hard depend on <5 until upstream gets it fixed
- Mask it till upstream gets it fixed.

Let's last-rite it quickly.

[Comment 5 Andreas K. Hüttel 2017-03-11 22:02:32 UTC]

Removed.
