Bug#384462: file-roller: unable to include folders in .7z-archives

[Daniel Blaschke]

Package: file-roller
Version: 2.14.4-1
Severity: normal

When selecting several files and folders in nautilus and creating a .7z
archive with file-roller using the context menu, only the files are
included and the folders and files within these folders are missing in
the created archive. No error message: the folders are just silently
ignored. Performing the same task from the commandline using the
executable "7z", works fine.
