Description damianatorrpm@gmail.com 2013-06-06 09:13:56 UTC 
Found a bug in how file-roller sees rpm's:

Download:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_12.3/x86_64/frozen-bubble-2.212-41.1.x86_64.rpm

1) extract it via rpm2cpio
2) extract it via ark or file roller into a different directory

Ark and file-roller extract some of the files as 0bytes but they
should be kilobytes.
Exapmle:
frozen-bubble/usr/share/frozen-bubble/gfx/menu/anims/1pgame_0001.png
if you view or extract it with file-roller or ark the file is 0bytes,
if you do it with rpm2cpio it is 1.9KiB(like it should be)

This happens with about 20 files in this package and it happens always
with the same files. Also happens with locally build rpm.

Regards,
Damian

Awesome! Two and a half years on data corruption bug with no response.

PS: The bug is in libarchive. See:

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).
