Description Ondra Pelech 2011-06-21 22:59:46 UTC 
When I open an ar (deb actually) archive, File-roller tells me it doesn't know the format. I have to manually install binutils.
Shouldn't packagekit take care of that?

(I'm using Fedora 15)

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).
