Description Jo 2008-05-21 23:02:56 CEST
Xubuntu Hardy Hedon 8.04
thunar-archive-plugin Revision: 4835
xarchiver Version: 0.4.6-7ubuntu1

Issuing a "Extract {Here, To...}" on a .deb file produces an error:

---
tar: option requires an argument -- f
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
---

All other formats work fine. Extracting the .deb via xarchiver works fine as well.

Looks like an xarchiver bug. Extracting in GUI works fine but xarchiver -e fails! My fault for not checking this. Sorry for the noise.

Can you please check this with the stable 0.5.0 release please?
