I can confirm this issue. All .desktop files shipped by Ark are missing semicolon between "application/zip" and "application/x-deb". Effect is that desktop-file parsing services fails to associate Ark with these two mime types.
All users affected by this issue may run following two commands as root: # dpkg -L ark |grep '\.desktop$' | while read file; do sed -i -e 's:application/zip:&;:' "$file" ; done # update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications/ I have also tried to investigate root cause of this issue. I did notice that debian/patches/use_libarchive_for_zip_files file has following two lines; #v+ -set(SUPPORTED_LIBARCHIVE_READWRITE_MIMETYPES "application/x-tar;application/x-compressed-tar;application/x-bzip-compressed-tar;application/x-tarz;application/x-xz-compressed-tar;application/x-lzma-compressed-tar;") +set(SUPPORTED_LIBARCHIVE_READWRITE_MIMETYPES "application/x-tar;application/x-compressed-tar;application/x-bzip-compressed-tar;application/x-tarz;application/x-xz-compressed-tar;application/x-lzma-compressed-tar;application/zip") #v- As you can see, removed line had semicolon near the end, while added line had not. After adding semicolon near the end of second line and re-applying the patch, I rebuilt package; it did had semicolon in right place, and therefore should not be affected by this issue (I did not install it to verify). -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
