I have a rar file that can't be extracted with lxqt-archiver #389

Open glu8716 opened 8 months ago

I have the following password protected rar file (this is the output of the file command)

cvs.rar: RAR archive data, v5

I'm not able to extract it with lxqt-archiver, as it throws the error Could not find the volume: cvs.r00

I can extract it without any problems with:

  1. Arqiver
  2. unrar x cvs.rar
  3. 7z x cvs.rar

This archive contains sensitive information. Unfortunately I can't share it for testing purpose. What it contains is a bunch of .url and .mp4 files with chinese names. I'll try to provide any needed information if possible.

Arqiver uses 7z to open rar archives.

The source file fr-command-rar.c (taken from engrampa) shows that lxqt-archiver uses rar, and only if it doesn't exist, it uses unrar. So, I guess the problem may be in rar.

I didn't have the rar package installed as I thought unrar was more than enough to extract packages. Installing rar fixes the problem though. Maybe there's something wrong in lxqt-archiver using unrar?

That's possible, but then it should have been inherited from Engrampa. It needs more investigation (we've already fixed another inherited problem).

Another approach can be forgetting about rar and doing the job with 7z.
