As I mardek quite a few bugs as duplicate of this one. I'd mention that there is a simple workaround, install p7zip.
The bug is caused by zip/unzip stack provided by Info-Zip. In particular, zip(1) seems to have no problem creating a ZIP archive with non-ASCII file name; the encoding used is UTF-8. However, unzip(1) just refuse to list any non-ASCII printable character in filenames. As FIle Roller use zip/unzip as one of its backend for ZIP, the same issue can be seen in File Roller. When p7zip is installed, File Roller would use it as backend for ZIP instead. Therefore, to hide the problem from end users, we may let file- roller depends on p7zip so that we can guarantee that we have a working ZIP stack. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592109 Title: ZIP archives with non-ASCII filenames cannot survive a round-trip in File Roller (when p7zip is not installed) Status in File Roller: Unknown Status in Ubuntu Translations: Invalid Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: If you have any accented characters in file names inside a compressed file, you'll get invalid encoding errors when you're decompressing the file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/file-roller/+bug/592109/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
