Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

I can't uncompress a 7z archive using right click + extract here in Nautilus (Hardy beta)
The archive was created in Nautilus with Gutsy Ubuntu.

It just says that this archive type is not supported, even if the package description says it can.

In fact I was missing the p7zip package.

But it's clearly written in the file roller package description that 7zip is supported, so I thought something was wrong.

It's not big deal, but still wasting some time. So I think:

-the package description should be modified to indicate clearly that additional packages are needed for some formats.

-file roller could propose to add the missing packages just like totem proposes to add missing codecs
