Public bug reported:
File-roller fails to extract rar, zip, xz and tar archives when
1) the output folder is or is below a symbolic link
and
2) extraction is run from the context menu (Extract Here)
The typical error message is:
"There was an error while extracting <filename>". The file is not a directory."
Extraction does work when I
1) navigate to the actual location of the output folder or move the archive(s)
to a location that is not a symbolic link
or
2) open the archive and run "Extract to" from its menu (which is quite
cumbersome when there are dozens of archives to process...).
I am dual booting 20.04 and 21.10 with a single home directory (which is
where the problematic symlink is located). The issue I am reporting
occurs only when I am using 21.10.
