(In reply to comment #0) > How reproducible: Always For me it doesn't always segfault, but quite often. This package has been in developlemt for more than a month and nobody complained, > Additional info: I'm basically stuck using the command line tools unless I go > hunt for the old xarchiver version in a YUM repository. yum install xarchiver-0.4.9-0.1.20070103svn.fc6 will do > Please get with the > Xarchiver developer (who seems to be lacking fundamental development skills in > the first place) as soon as possible. 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.
