Leopard Archive Utility acting weird

[carmaa]

My Archive Utility.app is acting weird, when clicking on .tar files to unarchive them, archive utility instead archives them into a .cpio archive. I've tried to open the Archive Utility from /System/Library/Core Services and tried to extract them from there, but nothing happens.

Also tried to reinstall the utility using Pacifist, but with no luck.

Anyone having the same problem?

Try the Unarchiver?

I could do that. But the archive utility worked perfectly well in Tiger, and I just wonder why it doesn't work in Leopard. I would rather not have to have lots of un-archiving utilities to be able to extract a simple tar file. Of course I could use the command line, but I'm lazy... 😉
