[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#539305: thunar-archive-plugin: no archive manager found when doing 'extract here' from thunar context menu

[Jeremy Lal]

Package: thunar-archive-plugin
Version: 0.2.4-4
Severity: normal

If i do a right click on a .tar.gz file,
and do "Extract here" from the context menu,
i get an alert dialog saying (approximately,
since i translate it from french to english):
"Failure to extract files.
No archive manager found."
I have xarchiver package installed.

It's been working ok for months,
and this package had not been upgraded recently,
so i guess there's something wrong with thunar package
or dependency.
I tried to reinstall thunar-archive-plugin, or thunar,
no change.
I also note that "Open with Xarchiver" context menu works ok.

If i install the "squeeze" package,
then it works ok.
If i uninstall squeeze and reinstall xarchiver, it doesn't work.
