Bug#225340: file-roller: created zip-Archives have unknown passwords

[Ruben Porras]

Package: file-roller
Version: 2.4.2-1
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #225340

Same problem here.

> While trying to extract files from an file-roller created archive with ark on
> the same machine (using the same zip-Program), it says: "skipping: xyz.txt
> unable to get password"; the same happens with such archives in any
> SM-Windows-Program, so no exchange of zip-Archives is possible.

unzip will accept an empty password, at least for me.
