>Description:
File-roller expects gnu tar to read any compressed or uncompressed tar archive. The standard NetBSD tar (linked to pax) outputs a summary line which confuses file-roller and the contents displayed is incorrect. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Open any .tar.gz , tar.bz2, .tar.Z  or .tar file with file-roller. 
>Fix:
Modifying file-roller to depend on archivers/gtar and patching fr-command-c to invoke gnutar solves the problem:
