file-roller can't handle german umlauts.

[Herbert]

Binary package hint: file-roller

file-roller can't handle german umlauts. It shows the wrong character in the filelist.
If I extract a file with a umlaut in the file-name, file-roller pretends success, but the file doesn't show up in the target-directory. Example-Umlauts: "ä", "ö", "ü"

Problem happened with a .rar-file. Content-File was a .avi.

I have forgotten to metion, this bug only happens if the file was packed in windows. So I think its a problem with the charsets.

above there are 3 files backed with Windows XP. The files in the archives are zero-sized textfiles.
In test.rar and test.zip the umlauts are shown wrong.
file-roller is able to extract the file from the test.zip, but if I try to extract the test.rar he only pretends success.

The command-line rar-command does also show the wrong characters, but it is able to extract the file.

The problem doesn't appear in the test.7z.

The files in the test.rar and test.zip are named "this is a täst ö ü ß.txt" and "tästfile ö ü ß.txt"

Now I have downloaded the version RAR 3.93 from winrar.de and replaced my "/usr/bin/rar" with the new one. (The original installed version was RAR 3.90 BETA 2)

This solved the problem, BUT ONLY FOR .rar-files. The problem stays for .zips.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
