I have a RAR archive file, and I get this "Prefix found" error message when I try to extract its contents using the built-in Archive Manager (file-roller 3.28.0) in Ubuntu 18.04:



An error occurred while extracting files. Prefix found



I would assume that if it can read the archive's file list, then it could also extract the files. I was able to extract the file using the unrar command in the terminal, but I would still like to know what's wrong with Archive Manager, and if there's a way to fix it so that it can extract RAR files.

  • Curiously there are 2 unrar applications under 18.04: unrar and unrar-free. I have not experimented with these 2 but perhaps this might be worth a look?
