Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 4.2.1 OS: Linux ark doesn't work right with tar-1.19. If you create an tar archive and add files to the archive, tar reports an error. The Gnome archiver file-roller has the same problem. Here is a patch for file-roller. http://www.paldo.org/paldo/sources/file-roller/file-roller-2.20.1-tar-1.19-1.patch.bz2 Maybe it's possible to port the patch to ark. It looks like tar has changed the file handling for the update option.
This is a regression from tar 1.18-->1.19. I reported this bug to tar lists, and they patched the related C file in their cvs repository. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2007-12/msg00001.html I think that this bug can be closed.
Not a Ark bug
