Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

In current intrepid alpha 4 release, When right-clicking on a .deb files and click on Extract here, or open with "Archive Manager", file roller just show a error message saying :

Could not open "....deb"
Archive type not supported.

This is particular because .deb files are normally .ar archives (I can extract a .deb with ar -xv *.deb) and file-roller is able both to create and read ar archives, so the problem might not be so hard to fix.
