Public bug reported: What happened: When I try to unpack a .zip archive using 'right click -> extract here' I get an error, telling me that the archive type is not supported. I have zip installed, and calling 'unzip file.zip' from the terminal works fine. In addition, when I start file-roller and try to open the zip file from the program, it does not list .zip files when viewing 'all archives'. It will only show .zip files when I choose 'all files' in the 'Open file' window. This makes me think that file-roller somehow doesn't know about zip files at all.
What I expected to happen: I expected file-roller to recognize that I have zip installed on my system, and use it to unpack .zip files. How to reproduce: As far as I can tell it happens for all .zip files. I have attached a very small archive with just 1 file which triggers the problem.
