Expected results: open an archive


Additional info: I'm basically stuck using the command line tools unless I go
hunt for the old xarchiver version in a YUM repository. Please get with the
Xarchiver developer (who seems to be lacking fundamental development skills in
the first place) as soon as possible.

For me it doesn't always segfault, but quite often. This package has been in
developlemt for more than a month and nobody complained,

yum install xarchiver-0.4.9-0.1.20070103svn.fc6 will do

Could you elaborate this a little? 

I tried to update to a newer svn snapshot. This one doesn't segfault, but
unfortunately it's only showing empty archives. This is due to the tree view
upstream is implementing ATM and which is not working.

So I'm going to downgrade the package to the older version in order to fix this
bug temporarily.

New package should hit the mirrors soon. Closing.
