Bug Description

When the p7zip module is run with file roller and an attempt is made to delete a file within a password protected 7z archive, there are multiple and endless password prompts. File needs to be deleted by extracting and compressing again.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
