We should not be so quick to get rid of bugs without having
consideration to a quality user experience. The gnome feature list
states that "File-roller (Archive Manager) now uses p7zip to extract
archives, so it supports .alz, .zip, .cbr, .cbz archives, .arj, .rar and
.iso files". People naturally expect that stated features will actually
be included and that they will work without hassles.
If the root cause of the bug is that the package p7zip-rar is not
present, then the solution should be that this package is changed to
require p7zip-rar. What happens now is that rar's under file manager
fail mysteriously without any assistance about needing the p7zip-rar
package.
Im re-opening this to confirmed because its not an invalid bug report.
** Changed in: file-roller (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Confirmed
