Bug Description

Unzipping with file roller does not create symbolic links even though
"Test integrity" shows the correct contents of the zip file.

I only tested this in ubuntu 10.10. However, a colleague uses ubuntu
12.04, and he has the same problem.

For an example, see the attached symlinkcheck.zip.

That version is very old, and no more maintained; if that issue is met on a supported version, then report about it by creating a new report bug.
