Description Sven Arvidsson 2007-01-21 22:30:00 UTC 
This bug was filed in the Debian BTS.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=297195

This bug is similar or related to bug 165383.

"When "clicking" a zip the archive manager (file roller) is opened, but 
it keeps saying "Reading archive" (with Archive: w3mtmp9714-0.zip as an 
example of a filename) and does that forever. Downloading the file 
manually and opening it with file-roller works fine. Just not from w3m..."

I can reproduce it with this URL:

If I strace file-roller, I see a lot of,
waitpid(25150, 0xbf9dd78c, WNOHANG)     = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use file-roller and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
