Bug#353845: ark fails to open valid gzipped tar archives
Package: ark
Version: 4:3.5.1-2
Severity: important
ark fails to open some gzipped tar archives created
with the 'compress' command from the file browser.
When run from the shell ark prints the following warning
KTar: WARNING: KTar: invalid TAR file. Header is: ml_w
and a dialog box with the message "An error occurred
while trying to open the archive" pops up. These
archives are valid for the traditional command
line tar utility.
uncompressing the archives with gunzip keeps ark
going like this, confirming that the problem is with
the tar archive.
Ark opens correctly other archives that it created
or that were created with the command line tar
utility, though
