Public bug reported:

I'm working on Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64 fully patched with the 5.3.0-66
kernel. The machine has file-roller 3.28.0.

I'm trying to unpack a *.deb package. I double click on the *.deb
archive and it opens in file-roller. I then click the 'Extract' button
and select a directory. Finally, I click 'Extract' button again (in the
file picker).

file-roller only unpacks the _gpgbuilder file. It does not unpack
control.tar.xz, data.tar.xz, or debian-binary.

It does not matter whether I select 0 files in file picker, or all files
in file picker. file-roller only unpacks the one file.

If file-roller worked as expected, then I would expect to see
_gpgbuilder, control.tar.xz, data.tar.xz, or debian-binary in the
extraction directory.

The file I am trying to extract is Zoom's binary for Linux. It is
available from https://zoom.us/download. I want to disassemble the
program and maybe see what's going on under the hood.
