Thanks for your bug. That seems to be due to '/usr/share/applications/xarchiver.desktop'. Could you run "dpkg -S '/usr/share/applications/xarchiver.desktop'" to know what package ships that .desktop? Could you attach the .desktop to the bug too?

Thank you, reassigning to xarchive

This change fixes the issue assuming that "application/x-arj-compressed" is a correct definition:

thanks for your report Chris, and for the patch Seb, but this seems to have been fixed by upstream in xarchiver 0.3.2 which was uploaded on Apr 28th.
