Bug Description

=== SRU Justification ===

Impact: Anyone trying to open a password protected rar file

Fixed upstream in 2.32.2.

Steps to reproduce:
 1. Download https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/762136/+attachment/2044014/+files/schwedische%20mandeltorte.txt.rar
 2. Try to open it in file-roller

The attached patch fr.debdiff is a debdiff to update from 2.32.1 to 2.32.2. I've also uploaded this to natty-proposed.

=========================

Binary package hint: file-roller

While trying to extract files from a protected rar-archive, I only get the error message

CRC failed in the encrypted file /home/EXAMPLE/EXAMPLE.rar. Corrupt file or wrong password.

When trying the same with "rar e EXAMPLE.rar", I can enter the passowrd and it works without problems.

Thank you for your bug report. I'm seeing this bug too. Note that it works for files where only the files are password protected (option -p in rar), the problem is with files where also the information *about* the files is password protected (option -hp). I opened an upstream bug report about this, you can track it and make comments at: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646562
