Description Matthias Clasen 2009-04-13 00:25:52 UTC 
This was reported against Fedora: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495362

Got a following error message:

An error occurred while loading the archive.
(null)

Though it was rather clear from the command output that the archive is
corrupted, a casual user would not appreciate seeing "(null)" in an error
message.

Please apply the patch that instructs the user to inspect the command output to
find out the cause of the fail.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

file-roller-2.26.0-1.fc11.i586

Comment 2 Paolo Bacchilega 2009-04-13 09:09:36 UTC 
in current trunk the command output is expanded automatically if the secondary text is null, and "(null)" is not displayed.
Comment 3 Paolo Bacchilega 2009-06-15 17:23:17 UTC 
marking as fixed...
