It would be nice if xarchiver can handle debian package files (.deb).
With dpkg-deb you can list the contents of a package(-c), extract the whole content(-x) and also extract the files as it would be an tar archive(--fsys-tarfile).
For more information read http://man.splitbrain.org/?=dpkg-deb.

Reproducible: Always

deb support is planned but using ar that is available in every distro. dpkg-deb is available only to Debian users.
Comment 2 Enrico Tröger editbugs 2006-06-07 05:19:59 CEST 
Nice to hear. I thought about the availability of dpkg-deb, too. But ar is the better choice. Let me know if you need testers or other help.
Comment 3 Giuseppe Torelli 2006-09-18 11:55:07 CEST 
Working on it in 0.4.1svn
Comment 4 Giuseppe Torelli 2006-10-10 06:59:05 CEST
