Description of problem: file-roller needs xz-lzma-compat to open lzma compressed archives (and probably to create them as well) but that package isn't listed as a dependency. Maybe it should? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.4.0-2.fc17 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
file-roller test.tar.xz works fine here, despite xz-lzma-compat not being installed.
I had created with file-roller in Debian sid (possibly version 3.3.9x) a tar.lzma file and I needed xz-lzma-compat to extract it in Fedora. I opened the bug report because it's a tiny package (and I didn't find a proper mailing list to ask if it was a valid idea).
I don't really want to add a package dependency on -compat packages - you can still install it if you need it.
