Binary package hint: file-roller

hello.
i have file which name is
SED: How can I replace a newline (\n)? - Stack Overflow.html
i cannot create tar.gz archive from it with file-roller, it says:
tar: SED\: How can I replace a newline (\n)? - Stack Overflow.html: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

but file with name
SED: How can I replace a newline (\n)? - Stack Overflow.html.tar.gz
is create, but its size is 45 bytes. ( it should be larger, because original is near 60 KB file with html/text content. )

then i asked for help in ##linux channel in "freenode", i tried tab
completion - same bug:

tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
