Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: file-roller

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala

file-roller 2.28.1-0ubuntu1
p7zip 9.04~dfsg.1-1
p7zip-full 9.04~dfsg.1-1

Steps to reproduce the problem:
- create a folder;
- create an empty file into that folder;
- compress the folder as .7z with password AND files list encryption;
- compress the same folder as .zip with password (in grey you can see the 
checkbox of files list encryption still selected).

Error:
7-Zip 9.04 beta  Copyright (c) 1999-2009 Igor Pavlov  2009-05-30
p7zip Version 9.04 (locale=it_IT.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,1 CPU)
Scanning
Creating archive ....zip
System error:
E_INVALIDARG                

My hints for you:
- p7zip parameter to encrypt files list is not valid for zip files;
- compression parameters need to be reset after every file format change.

Workaround:
- compress as .7z with password and WITHOUT files list encryption, then 
compress as .zip with password.
