When trying to extract an archive, XA simply fails with strange errors. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open a .tar.bz2 archive in Xarchiver 2) Click the "Extract Files" icon/button. This should open a dialog that lets you select the destination for extracted files. 3) Select /home/user/Desktop/ 4) Click "Extract" XA fails with an error like this: An error occurred while accessing the archive: Try `mv --help' for more information. mv: missing destination file operand after `/home/priyank/Desktop/' After that, if i again try to extract the same archive using the above steps, i get a long list of errors like this: tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors gimmix-0.5.2/ gimmix-0.5.2/src/ gimmix-0.5.2/src/gimmix-playlist.h tar: gimmix-0.5.2/src/gimmix-playlist.h: Cannot open: File exists gimmix-0.5.2/src/gimmix-covers.h tar: gimmix-0.5.2/src/gimmix-covers.h: Cannot open: File exists tar: gimmix-0.5.2/src/gimmix.h: Cannot open: File exists gimmix-0.5.2/src/gimmix.h tar: gimmix-0.5.2/src/gimmix-config.h: Cannot open: File exists tar: gimmix-0.5.2/src/gimmix-lyrics.h: Cannot open: File exists gimmix-0.5.2/src/gimmix-config.h ... ... (for all files) I have uploaded the screenshots. 1) The extraction dialog http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/6816/xa1hv0.png 2) Errors when i hit the extract button for the first time http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/8194/xa2jw1.png 3) Erros when i hit the extract button again http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/2707/xa3ei6.png
I forgot to mention that this occurs on the latest svn revisionj (28575) of XA.

Can you please tell me if you open the archive from the command line or from the GUI? If you open it from the command line was the archive contained in the same directory where the xarchiver executable was contained? Thanks Giuseppe

Can you please tell me if you are unable to extract ALL tar compressed archives when the option "Extract with full path" option? is NOT checked? If not can you please try to identify what changes (path, cd to current dir, etc etc) when you are not able to extract the tar compressed archive that gives you the mv error? Thank you, Giuseppe

Or you called it from the > source directory? i used the xarchiver binary installed in /usr/local/bin. So, this time i installed the binary to /usr/bin/ and then tried to extract the archive and it worked without any errors. So, i think the problem occurs when the xarchiver binary is in /usr/local/bin.

Anyway, it works fine for now, except when xarchiver is installed in /usr/local/bin.
Ok, I tried to run the xarchiver from /usr/local and I can extract tar compressed archives. I'm sorry I can't reproduce this bug. So I close it for now.
