Description:

When opening a 7zip archive in xarchiver, the program promptly segfaults and crashes.

Additional info:
xarchiver 0.5.2-5
p7zip 9.20.1-6


Steps to reproduce:
Create a 7zip archive using the 7z command.
Attempt to open it with xarchiver from the command line.
Program crashes, shell reports segfault.

For what it's worth, running under gdb gives the following message.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff65c5a93 in ____strtoll_l_internal () from /lib/libc.so.6

Cannot reproduce; can you attach a problematic .7z file?

It doesn't work for any 7zip file for me. Perhaps my system has some weird quirk. I'm going to try building xarchiver from abs with debugging symbols and see if I can get a more detailed error message.

Huh, that's weird. The segfault seems to be occurring inside gtk_main(). I'm not sure what that means.

Perhaps some event listener is being attached wrong? I have no idea.

Please provide exact commands to reproduce the issue and a sample .7z file which causes xarchiver to segfault.

OK, so it only segfaults when opening files made from the command line using the 7z command. It does not fail for 7zip archives made using xarchiver itself. Here is a sample 7zip file. Try opening it with "xarchiver documents.7z" to reproduce the bug.
   documents.7z (11.8 KiB)

Thank you for following up, but I've decided to drop xarchiver from [extra]. [1]

It'd still be available from the AUR [2], but it's unsupported.

The suggested alternative application is GNOME's archive tool, File Roller (file-roller in [extra]).
