Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: file-roller
Currently using Hardy Heron 32 bit with all updates and upgrades and version
2.22.3 of file-roller.
I created a password protected .zip in my Windows guest OS in virtualbox,
copied it over to my host machine and tried to extract it through Gnome using
file-roller. The password for the .zip began with an exclamation mark followed
by letters and numbers. !Xxxxx### was the password format if it matters, where
X is capital letter, x is lowercase, and # is a number.
Anyway, whenever I enter the password, file-roller repops the prompt as
though I've entered it incorrectly even though I did enter it correctly.
(I've done it several times to make sure)
I am able to extract the file using Windows built in explorer unzip
utility, as well as from the command line in Ubuntu using the unzip
command; it's specifically file-roller that is unable to unzip the file.
I'm thinking that maybe the password beginning with ! could be the
source of the problem, but not entirely sure. Thanks.
If others are having difficulty recreating the problem I will attempt to
recreate the problem with a .zip that doesn't contain sensitive
information (as the file in question does) and upload it as an
attachment.
