Yes, just zip something using nautilus contextual menu "compress" (only happens if you compress multi level directories, w/ files within).

Then open it double clicking on zipfile, or using cli as ya prefer, its necesary to use file roller gui.

After that select a folder w/ files within and optionally other directories and press "del" or "supr" (spanish).

Files within directory are deleted, but directory itself still remains.

This is the bug i reported: the directory still remains.

Please look image i attached to bug, there you see 0 byte folder in background

ive seen it only happens to "ZIP" files, additionally ive 7zip package from repos installed: p7zip-full

Hi guys

I've got my system broken and needed to reinstall ubuntu using 10.04.1 LTS cdrom. when i tryed to reproduce that bug in this freshly installed system couldn't get it. i didn't install p7zip-full package, so i think bug's related to incompatibility w/ p7zip-full.

I think this report must be filed, maybe in future someone will reproduce it too, but not so soon.

Thanks for attention and sorry for my english.

ive found duplicate of this bug, look at bug #341357, same problem: file-roller + p7zip

well, this is still present in file-roller 3.3.91.
furthermore, besides not wanting to delete the empty dir, if one tries to delete it by typing in its name specifically, file-roller may delete other files as well.
for example, with dir structure:
* bin/files
* src/some-module/AbsBin.java
* doc/manuals
when I select 'bin' and delete, 'bin' stays. when I select it, delete, and type 'bin' in the field, the bin directory is deleted, but src/some-module/AbsBin.java is deleted as well! and this just cost me points with my computer-evaluated homework. :/
