file-roller @2.26.3 shows empty contents for files on Snow Leopard

Description

File Roller 2.24.3 has problems building on Snow Leopard due to a xdc build problem, but once that is worked around (patching xdc Portfile) it builds OK. It also prints a warning (see ticket: 22272) which can also be removed (by rebuilding dbus). It still produces some WARNINGs related to gdk that some say are warmless). However...

I've tried to open a couple of tar.gz one of them the file-roller one itself and all I get is an empty window, as if the tar files were empty.

Did you mean 2.26.3, as that is the current port version?

file-roller @2.26.3 (gnome)

It was a typo, sorry about that

Very important new info....

I installed the cpio and rpm ports and then file-roller became capable of opening .rpm files. It correctly shows the file contents.

So it does not work with .tar.gz files and .zip files, even if ac OS X comes with those pre-installed ad I can use them from the command line.

Perhaps these command binaries moved on Snow leopard and file-roller cannot find them?

Is this still a problem with the current version?

I don't think so. I've successfully tested current version 3.14.2 (to be committed shortly) on Mavericks and Yosemite but have no way of testing on earlier platforms. If problems remain, please submit a new ticket with full details.
