Description Ingo Klöcker 2004-04-13 10:27:38 UTC

Version:           v2.1.9 (using KDE 3.2.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-199-default

When I try to open a tar.gz archive I get the following error message:

"The utility is not in your PATH.

Please install it or contact your system administrator."

In the source code there's a "%1" after "utility". It would help if ark would tell me which utility is actually not in my PATH.

Moreover, gunzip and tar are of course in my PATH. So the problem is probably not just an incomplete error message.

the real bug is fixed in cvs.
I'll leave the report open since I'd like to know why there's no m_archiver set..

Ah, I see. Mixing two different ways of mimetype detection in ArchiveFormatInfo::* and CompressedFile::initData was the cause for trying to handle a tgz as a compressed file without setting m_openAsMimeType correctly.
Doesn't happen anymore ( and would be a non-issue after using KMimeType->is() everywhere ) -> closing.

I wasn't able to rectify this problem.Please help me to do so.I'm a learner.
So if any one put the steps in a to z it would be very much helpful.
