Fr, Pt characters in the name of file inside rar

[Almufadado]

Binary package hint: file-roller

It's the 3th time this happens

A rar or zip that has been compressed (most likely) with a MS windows compression tool in a non-english system (say portuguese, french and brazilian)

The files within where named using ie brazilian characters (áéúíó ãõ )

The file was sent to me and when I open it with file-roller 2.32.0

The contained file has this original word " funèbre"

in file-roller it appers like this "funŠbre " (the character is garbled) and doesn't allow either rename or extract

But the most curious thing is this :
the original name is "Rondò" (with the ò character) but it appears in the file-roller as "rondo" with the characte not accentuated

!!! I can successfully unrar, test and read the file in the shell using ' unrar e file.rar ' !!!

If the problems still exists, please split the issue for RAR and ZIP.

RAR related issue is likely to be caused by the fact that broken version rar is included in 11.10-12.10, it will be upgraded in 13.04.
The issue can be workarounded by removing rar package and install rar from official site.
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm (Choose RAR 4.20 for Linux or RAR 4.20 for Linux x64)

For ZIP related issues, please refer to bug 495880 or bug 596193
