Archive Manager / File Roller unable to open 7z archives after switch from p7zip to 7zip
The issue: Archive Manager attempts to open 7z archives however it does not show file contents nor does it ask for a password for encrypted files. The window for file roller/archive manager is simply empty.
Reproducible: 100% of the time
Distro: OpenSuSE Tumbleweed (latest updates as of Jan 24th) DE: Cinnamon Version of archive manager: 3.40.0
Information for package file-roller:
Repository : Main Repository (OSS) Name : file-roller Version : 3.40.0+51-1.1 Arch : x86_64 Vendor : openSUSE Installed Size : 830.2 KiB Installed : Yes Status : up-to-date Source package : file-roller-3.40.0+51-1.1.src Summary : An Archive Manager for GNOME Description : File Roller is an archive manager for GNOME. With it, you can create and modify archives, view the contents of an archive, view a file contained in the archive, and extract files from the archive.
Steps to reproduce:
- zypper dup (distro upgrade) to an iteration that forces the swap from p7zip to 7zip
- Attempt to open .7z archive
Caveats:
- 7zip is installed correctly, all binaries are in place
- It should be noted that this happened after my distro's (OpenSuSE Tumbleweed) update forced the switch from p7zip to the 7zip package
