[Nautilus] Useless alert message ?

Hello.

I'm using flawlessly ArchLinux since 2 weeks. So I had no need to post there - but I post on my own country forum site http://www.archlinux.fr/ -

Well, I just want to ask if you can confirm a strange bug I'm seeing today.

After upgrading my arch this morning, I cannot compress a directory using right click option "create an archive" without getting a false alert dialog box, saying me that an error happened while adding file to the archive.

Of course, I can decompress flawlessly the faulty archive.

Could it be related to new version of libarchive ?

 pacman -Si libarchive
Dépôt                 : core
Nom                   : libarchive
Version               : 2.4.11-1
Groupes               : base  
Fournit               : --
Dépend de             : zlib  bzip2  acl  
Supprime              : --

Thanks a lot for this wonderful distribution and for your help

Looks like it is this bug, yes.

The worst is that the archive created is perfectly usable.

Could you try this patch, it will be included in the next file-roller release. If it works on the current repo version you may want to open a bug report on the arch bug tracker asking for the inclusion of this patch in the current version. But please make sure it solves your issue before doing so.

It doesn't work on current version in repository.

Hunk #1 FAILED at line 231.
1 out of 1 hunk failed -- saving rejects to file-roller-2.20.1/src/fr-command-tar.c.rej

I had to replace all 2.20.2 references in patch file by 2.20.1.

I will try to see if file-roller 2.20.2 could be built and installed flawlessly.

if so, I will open a bug to see it added to next release, maybe for gnome 2.20.3 release ?!

Ok. I will do it as soon as possible, but I will prefer a 2.20.2 official version

Thanks for your help !
