gnome fileroller prompts: error ocurred while loading archive

Hi guys,
Basically I'm trying to resolve an issue with owncloud which seems to generate zip files that I can't open with file-roller because it prompts the following error message: "An error ocurred while loading the archive"
At first I was assuming a bug in owncloud and thus I filed a bug which can be seen here: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues … -234897383
A developer answered me that he could open it with the exact same version as I used. So I have to make sure that this isn't a problem with my system (which this definitely looks like)

The bug report actually already says it all. But here's a brief summary of the issue:

First go to the website demo.owncloud.org , log in (credentials are already filled out) and try to download the folder "music". It will download a zip file. If I open that zip file with file-roller I get the aforementioned error. There's no error on the terminal. However it seems that this error doesn't occur for others. What could be the problem?

Best regards

Awebb

Try unzipping it from the command line. 7-Zip on my Windows box complains about a broken header, but extracts the file without further complaints.

It's not only on your system. I got identical errors with the demo Music.zip with file-roller and 'unzip -T'.
