ZIP archives with non-ASCII filenames cannot survive a round-trip in File Roller (when p7zip is not installed)

That's the bug in file-roller itself.

opening a task for the ubuntu package since it affects that as well.

This issue still occurs as of Maverick Beta (09/22/2010) + File Roller 2.31.92

Hello,

Bug still present in Ubuntu Natty 11.04.3 with File-Roller 2.32.2

Problem with accents on letters like é (very used in french).

Compressing works well, but opening the file zipped does not work and I get error message, example for file Intérim.pdf :

caution: filename not matched: Int\?\?rim.pdf

Tested also on Oneiric alpha with File-Roller 3, it works fine, so bug seems corrected In Gnome 3, but for LTS users of Natty, could be great to patch it.

Hello . i've got that bug in Precise 12.04 am64 all updates/upgrades done ... the bug occurs when I try to use unzip in CLI too : Other Bug report found correponding to my situation I think : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619116

As I mardek quite a few bugs as duplicate of this one. I'd mention that there is a simple workaround, install p7zip.

The bug is caused by zip/unzip stack provided by Info-Zip. In particular, zip(1) seems to have no problem creating a ZIP archive with non-ASCII file name; the encoding used is UTF-8. However, unzip(1) just refuse to list any non-ASCII printable character in filenames.

As FIle Roller use zip/unzip as one of its backend for ZIP, the same issue can be seen in File Roller.

When p7zip is installed, File Roller would use it as backend for ZIP instead. Therefore, to hide the problem from end users, we may let file-roller depends on p7zip so that we can guarantee that we have a working ZIP stack.

It is not that simple as it seems in post#6.

For a couple of years there is a workaround for Cyrillic languages a patched unzip. But the problem is that if p7zip-full is installed, file-roller always uses it as a backend and there is no way to switch it to unzip. This cuses that Russian users can't install p7zip-full to work normally with archives.

Hi, Pilot6.

The problem you described is bug 495880.
