Package: ark
Version: 4:3.5.8-1
Severity: normal
Related bug:
#451926 password support
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451926
'ark' stalls attempting to view a file within an encrypted '.zip'.
My mail reader 'sylpheed' uses 'ark' to open archives. When 'ark'
stalled on an encrypted zip file, both 'ark' and 'sylpheed' hung, and
had to be killed.
Example of stalling:
# encrypt text file 'foo' in 'bar.zip', pw=melon
% B=/tmp/bar.zip ; F=/tmp/foo ; echo hello > $F ; zip -P melon $B $F
adding: tmp/foo (stored 0%)
% ark $B
'ark' opens 'bar.zip'; click on 'foo', 'ark' displays "Extracting file
to view" to the left of a progress bar, endlessly.
'htop' showed 'ark' was waiting for this:
unzip -n /tmp/bar.zip tmp/foo -d /tmp/kde-yourname/ark2PEYGA/
Test:
% unzip -n $B tmp/foo -d /tmp/ ; echo $?
Archive: /tmp/bar.zip
[/tmp/bar.zip] tmp/foo password:
...so 'unzip' waits for a password, which it never gets, and 'ark'
waits on that.
Short term kludge, add a '-P ""' to the extraction:
% unzip -P "" -n $B tmp/foo -d /tmp/ ; echo $?
Archive: /tmp/bar.zip
skipping: tmp/foo incorrect password
82
An error, but no stalling. It works for unencrypted files too:
% echo hello > $F; zip $B $F
adding: tmp/foo (stored 0%)
% unzip -P "" -n $B tmp/foo -d /tmp/ ; echo $?
Archive: /tmp/bar.zip
extracting: /tmp/tmp/foo
0
(Perhaps an 'unzip' bug -- it accepted a useless switch without
returning an error.)
Hope this helps...

Thanks for the reminder, recently I did manage to upgrade. I've
now tested an encrypted file just like before (in 1/08), and this time 'Ark'
doesn't stall, it prompts correctly, and opens the file. Fixed.
