Bug ID: 509220
Summary: Ark does not properly extract files from .deb packages
Classification: Applications
Product: ark
Version First 23.04.3
Reported In:
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
The steps to reproduce are simple.
1) download any .deb package to your machine
2) Right click and choose the menu option extract and then extract here
3) After extraction is complete you are presented with with 2 compressed
folders and debian-binary file
This is all well and good but you have to carry out an extra step and then
extract the data.tar.zst to find the binary folder one is looking for.
If I on the other hand use konsole and do dpkg-deb -x package.deb folder name
to extract to it extracts everything including the further compressed files
that ark fails to extract.
Can ark be amended for deb files to use dpkg-deb instead?
I am willing to work on this to fix ark to use dpkg-deb. If this is desired
what are the ways forward to work on this.
