Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: file-roller

I have seen this issue in Feisty and previous releases.  Here are steps
that should re-create the issue:

navigate to any web site offering a tar.gz or similar archive.
select "open with..." and open with file-roller
navigate through the file archive (optional)
close the window
select the file from the web again
select "open with..." and open with file-roller
archive is not able to open

reason I've found:
when a file is taken and opened vs saving to disk it is put into 
/tmp/file.tar.gz.  If the same file is selected from the web and opened using 
the same method the file is called /tmp/file.tar.gz.1.

can file roller check for the existence of the same file in /tmp when
using the open with option?  Would that be a feature/option to integrate
at the browser level or file-roller level?  In any event, the best way
around that I've found is to delete both of the archives from /tmp and
try again, or manually open the original archive from /tmp.
