The problem seems to be that the tar file in question includes duplicate
entries (note the -d below):
> tar -tf ~/ideaIU-110.291.tar.gz |sort |uniq -d
idea-IU-110.291/bin/
idea-IU-110.291/help/
idea-IU-110.291/plugins/
With debug turned on, file-roller executes the following when extracting
this archive through the GUI:
tar --force-local --no-wildcards -v -p -xf
/home/mkennedy/Downloads/test.tar -C /tmp -T
/home/mkennedy/.cache/.fr-bkTWzC/file-list --
[Thread 0x7fffdee20700 (LWP 31423) exited]
** ERROR **

idea-IU-110.291/plugins/
idea-IU-110.291/plugins/
idea-IU-110.291/redist/
I would suggest that this is just a broken .tar file and move on,
however file-roller calls tar to do the work, and tar standalone can
extract this archive without problems. Also, invoking file-roller from
command line also works fine for this archive:
> src/file-roller --extract-to=/tmp ~/Downloads/ideaIU-110.291.tar.gz
> echo $?
0
It succeeds because file-roller from command line executes this instead:
[FR] fr-process.c:671 (start_current_command):
0/0)
tar --force-local --no-wildcards -v -p -xf
/home/mkennedy/Downloads/ideaIU-110.291.tar.gz -z -C /tmp --
[FR] fr-archive.c:944 (action_performed):
EXTRACTING_FILES [DONE] (FR::Archive)
So I think this really is a bug in file-roller and that it should be robust
enough to handle such an archive from the GUI.
