Comment 5 for bug 666238

Please re-open this bug. It has not been fixed. I have exactly the same problem on ubuntu 13.04.

This is the error message from the terminal:

** (file-roller:16278): WARNING **: Errore nel creare il collegamento simbolico: File già esistente
                                                                 "Error creating the symbolic link. File already exist"

The of course does not exist yet.

How to reproduce:

1) compress in rar whatever folder (es: X)
2) double click on X.rar
3) double on on X directory
4) Click on add file

An error message will show up.

Annoying workaround: Double click on X.rar and add the file directly there, then cut and copy inside X folder.
