Description zebul666 2010-09-03 16:46:57 UTC 
Say I downloaded a tar.xz tarball. http://www.archlinux.org/packages/testing/i686/chromium/download/

I open it up with file-roller and modify a text file (PKGBUILD) with gedit.
I save it back and after I close gedit, I am asked if I want to update the archive. I say yes.
Then I end up with an archive with only that file. all the others are gone !
I have verified from command line that the archive has only one file and this is NOT a gui/display bug.

vim works and it's still the best ! :-P
