********************************

File Roller and zips work just fine here and as far as I know polkit has
nothing to do with extracting compressed archives, your problem is
somewhere else. Your hint should be the message "There is no command
installed for Zip archive files." so you want to install zip and unzip
and leave polkit alone.

TY for answers. Will try everything asap.

As for zip and unzip, I have been able to unzip for months before the upgrade, so my first guess was the issue doesn't come from this side.

As for md5sums, let's say I manage to solve this part of PKGBUILD. Just for academic puprose, once PKGBUILD is tested suceessfully, is it sage to install this package this way?

TY.
