Bug Description

Binary package hint: p7zip

Whenever I try to password protect a 7zip file with 7zr or File-Roller, I always get the same error message:

System error:
E_FAIL

I'm running 7.10 (up-to-date) on a 32-bit Pentium 4 system if that helps.

Forgot to mention package's version... p7zip 4.51~dfsg.1-1

I assume the problem lies with 7zr, and is why File-Roller fails as well, but just in case I'm currently using file-roller 2.20.0-0ubuntu1

This could be related to Bug #122935. Doesnt look like p7zip handles password well.
