Can't open/view file directly from File Roller if there is a certain characters in the directory/file name

[Namaku Jiro]

Binary package hint: file-roller

Try open the ZIP file attached with File Roller (AKA Archive Manager). In my case
I can't open/view directly if there is square brackets on the directory/file name. It
gives me error message like this:
> caution: filename not matched: aaa[aaa].txt
There is no problem when extracting the entire file's content though.

I have the same file but in RAR and there is no problem at all.

What do you think? Something to do with the regex in shell/command line? Any ideas?

Oh BTW, I am using Intrepid and if I remember correctly this doesn't happen in Hardy.

same problem, and for what it's worth i am certain it worked in hardy.

I have the same problem.

Thanks for mentioning that extracting the whole file works, it was a lifesaver.
