RHBA-2014:0642 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated file-roller packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

File Roller is an application for creating and viewing archives files, such as
tar or zip files.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the file-roller application did not correctly handle file names

with spaces. As a consequence, an error could occur when adding files to an
archive because names with spaces were not properly recognized by file-roller,
for example when using the 'Compress' menu item in the Nautilus file manager.
With this update, file-roller uses the correct API to handle file names. As a
result, archives are created as expected and errors no longer occur in the
described situation. (BZ#718338)

Users of file-roller are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
