Crash upon extracting UTF-8 named files/directories #697

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
% unar arhiva.zip 
arhiva.zip: Zip
unar: Uncaught exception NSCharacterConversionException, reason: Can't get 
cString from Unicode string.

The example archive contains a file with UTF-8 characters in it's name (any of 
these: "ć", "č", "š", "ž", "đ", as well as Serbian Cyrilic characters).

lsar is OK.

The problem is also extracting to a directory with UTF-8 characters in its name.

What platform? Sounds like a Foundation implementation bug rather than a bug in 
unar, really.

Arch Linux, 64 bit. Yes, it occured to me to it could be a bug in GNUStep (or 
something).

There's also another bug report for the same matter here: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989150

I'll check when did the GNU Step got upgraded...

Lots of Linux distros seem to ship terribly outdated GNUSteps. If you have the 
time, try building a new one and see if it still breaks.

The last gnustep update (gnustep-base-1.24.4) for Arch Linux was in May. 
Probably the issues started then, but I didn't notice until now.
However, I've upgraded to the latest version (1.24.5) and the problems remain. 
Don't know what to do next. :/

Perhaps GNUstep is failing to figure out that your system should use UTF-8 
filenames? I seem to vaguely recall that there is some option that can be used 
to override that, but I forgot what it is.

It might be worth reporting it to GNUStep, too.

Don't know, it used to work fine before. I'm gonna try with a previous versions 
of gnustep.

I've tried version 1.24.3 - 1.24.5, and the same error. I could not compile 
version 1.24.0. So, I've reported the bug to the gnustep bug tracker:

Well, it seems it is an issue in unar, after all. I've got helped by people 
(https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?39900) and came up with a patch 
(attached) that solved my problems.

So, any coments?

Seems like that would fix it, yes, but I am not entirely convinced it should be 
necessary. I'll add it in the next round of updates, but I'll try to talk to 
the GNUstep people about it.
