[Solved] atool can't exec "unzip" error

DauntingPear7 · 2021-10-25 02:42:29

I recently installed ranger on my system, and this has lead me to investigating extracting archives on my device. If I recall correctly, atool is the default option in ranger, and when I would try to extract a file it would error out. It happens in ranger and just running atool from the terminal itself.

When I run:

atool -x /path/to/file

It gives me an error message saying:

Can't exec "unzip": Not a directory at /usr/bin/atool line 1869.
unzip: cannot execute - Not a directory
atool: unzip ...: non-zero return-code

I have done some searching around online and I have not been able to find any other threads or information on this topic anywhere

I am unsure of any possible logs that could be of use as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you installed unzip?

More generally, look at the optional dependencies of atool in e.g.

pacman -Qi atool

to know which tools you'd need for which archive formats.
