Package: xarchiver
Version: 1:0.5.4-1
Severity: Grave

Xarchiver has a SERIOUS data LOSS issue.One can attempt to zip up some
home folders from /home.The problem when doing so is that data gets
corrupted on add. This does not happen when using zip from the
commandline.When attempting to unzip these archives, unzip complains
that there is invalid compressed data to inflate and skips over the bad
crc marked files.This has resulted in about less than 25GB of a 300GB
archive to be recovered on restore.I have lost my backup set due to
this.

I have also tested media with spinrite.The storage mediums are
error-free.Not a single byte is bad.This issue only happens on Jessie
but proper BDROM support is only given with Jessie, so we are chasing
our tails here.Its not like you can burn a BDROM with squeeze.At least
in the UI.Therefore I am stuck with an unuseable OS.Makes no sense to
burn a corrupted backup.As I am on Fedora due to this I am sorry I
cannot help further.
