Description Tony 2016-08-18 20:54:33 UTC
As title says, ark is unable to find the proper plugin even-though i already have installed rar, unrar and p7zip-rar.

I get this when i run it from the terminal:
ark.kerfuffle: Mimetype for filename extension ( "application/x-rar" ) did not match mimetype for content ( "application/pdf" ). Using content-based mimetype.
ark.kerfuffle: Could not find a plugin to handle "/home/joder/VBoxShare/1.rar"
 
How that change? no idea haven't touch anything related to "mimetypes".

Reproducible: Always

Can you check the version of your shared-mime-info package?

dpkg -s shared-mime-info | grep Version
Comment 2 Elvis Angelaccio 2016-08-18 21:15:58 UTC
If neon has the same version (1.5) that xenial has, which is very likely, then you are affected by this bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93549

Your best bet is to open a bug against the ubuntu's shared-mime-info package and ask them to backport this bugfix: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/commit/?id=10fc17ec61c5b5c6c0e6ea2c8d7a2123271d07e3

:( yep shared-mime-info=1.5, so package bug since this is already fixed.

Yes. Try to open a bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/

and put a link to this report.
