Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: file-roller
File Roller is a nice program for browsing the contents of various
archive files without having to extract the whole lot.
Recently I attempted to open a 7-zip file in Ubuntu Hardy by double-
clicking. It opened into File Roller but then File Roller complained
that it did not have support for 7-zip.
What was not clear at this time was that File Roller did indeed support
the 7-zip format; all that I needed to do was to install the 'p7zip'
package using Synaptic.
It would be good if the File Roller error message could be patched to
advise the user that they need to install the missing command-line tool
in order for its support of that file format to work correctly.
Even better would be for a dialog box to ask the user if they want to
install the appropriate package(s), as with Totem and Gstreamer.
