Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

file is downloaded from greek govermental site
see-check more zip examples in
 http://www.eye-ekt.gr/StaticPage.aspx?mn=534
They should have greek file names.(in MSWindows have)
this has nothing to do with zips created in ubuntu.
Is an "all time" - "all versions" bug
p7zip is also installed as some fora indicate but the problem is not solved
the command
7z x my_file.zip -o~/Desktop
returned bad utf-8 characters as file names:
Extracting BinaryContent/07_„‰Ž €Œ€Š“’ˆ‰Ž ’„“•Ž‘-„Œ’“€
before p7zip being installed russian characters were shown in the place og greek characters
thanks

Any zip file from above mentioned page has the problem
Files are at the bottom of the page and zip extension is clear so can be distinguished easy.
I do not think this is a desktop problem.
