Reason for closing: Fixed
Additional comments about closing: p7zip is in depends, covers zip handling.

Hmm, big failure upstream. Libarchive can read zipfiles, file-roller links to that, so why they don't use libarchive instead...

It may have been a conscious decision. I know there are some inadequacies in the libarchive's zip implementation -- It lacks support for password protected archives, support for newer compression methods (implode and shrink), and the issue tracker is generally littered with random "i can't read this zip file" reports.

It seems file-roller uses p7zip for each format that it supports, so my choice is to add this to depends array instead of adding optdepends for every format it supports. p7zip is GPL and covers most common formats, so I see no need in adding (un)zip, (un)rar and arj optdepends anymore.
