Public bug reported:
I believe I have uncovered an error with Archive Manager (file-roller).
1) From Files, right-click on a single file and select context menu item
"Compress...".
2) Modify the archive filename as desired. Select archive type .zip. Do not
specify a password. Click the "Create" button.
3) Open the newly created archive and delete the single file it contains.
4) Select Archive manager menu item Edit > Set Password...
5) Enter the desired password and click the "Save" button. At this point a
dialog appears with the following error message:
Could not create the archive
Error when getting information for file
'/home/John/Documents/Personal/.fr-Gr7BGf/junk.zip': No such file or
directory
The file '/home/John/Documents/Personal/junk.zip' does exist and is
open. The "/.fr-Gr7BGf" part has been mistakenly put into the file path
resulting in the error message. (The password did not contain "/.fr-
Gr7BGf".)
I realize it is not common to ask for a password protected archive with
no contents. But to me this error indicates a string over running its
intended memory which should probably be corrected.
