Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release: 20.04
Evince does a suicide trip after unsuccessfully trying to open a CBR file. After a while it is killed. Here is my terminal output:
$ evince TheCartoons.cbr
Killed
$
And between the line "$ evince TheCartoons.cbr" and the final "Killed", are passing many minutes.
Please note that I started my report in
https:/
not knowing exactly what "expired" there means. I did "apport-collect 1785060" there, too.
Please note also that my error message (see above) is quite different from seb128 in bug 1785060. In fact, there is no error message just the statement "Killed".
What gets me is that in 18.04 it is working so smooth and fast and that in 20.04 it is such a mess!
P.S. I do not know whether this helps, but with Debian 11 Xfce (Buster sid, testing), evince loads and opens this CBR file correctly, albeit slowly, but okular (installed in Buster sid) yields a similar error message like that of seb128 with evince in bug 1785060:
"Could not open file TheCartoons.cbr. The version of unrar on your system is not suitable for opening comicbooks"
Inverted world ;-)
Addendum:
Using Ubuntu Focal's unrar-free, I can unzip from this CPR file 144 GIF files in a blink, sizing from 425 KB to 2 MB.
