Bug#458593: file-roller does not like unace-nonfree

[Luís Picciochi Oliveira]

When trying to open the file, ps gives the output
$ ps -e v | grep .ace
15092 pts/8    S+     0:00      0   293 24598 14216  1.3 file-roller
Pack.ace
15093 pts/8    R+     0:04      0    64  6031   548  0.0 unace v
/home/luis/Desktop/Pack.ace
15096 pts/10   S+     0:00      0    93  2974   732  0.0 grep .ace

The process consuming 100% CPU is the "unace v" one, which has been called
by file-roller (as seen with gnome-system-monitor)... When executing the
same command on a console, it produces this output immediately, without any
delay:
$ unace v Pack.ace

This only happens with the 'unace-nonfree' package. With the 'unace'
package, file-roller loads well (though it can't extract the file's
contents, due to the package's restrictions).
