Description Nikolaus Klepp 2015-02-03 16:19:42 UTC 
When xarchiver should open a xz-compressed archive, it displays an empty window instead of the archives content. 

Steps to reproduce:
$ touch test.txt
$ tar cJf /tmp/test.tar.xz test.txt 
$ tar tJf /tmp/test.tar.xz
test.txt
$ xarchiver /tmp/test.tar.xz


There is a bugreport and a supposed fix of that issue, but I do not know if it really works:

Comment 2 Danilo Egea Gondolfo freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-02-03 19:15:26 UTC 
Apparently this patch is in xarchiver already. Do you know if the xarchiver works with tar.xz files in other systems, like Ubuntu?
Comment 3 Nikolaus Klepp 2015-02-03 19:37:31 UTC 
I just tried compiling from the sources of xarchiver-0.5.4 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xarchiver/ :

Compiling with GCC on wheezy gives a working version.
Compiling with GCC49 on FreeBSD 10.1 give a non-working version.
Compiling with CLANG on FreeBSD 10.1 give a non-working version.

Fixed in PR 203103.
