Package: file-roller
Version: 2.30.2-2
Severity: normal

Mozilla Firefox addons are archives with a .xpi extension. File-roller can
handle these except when you try to delete files within the archive, you get:

  7-Zip 9.04 beta  Copyright (c) 1999-2009 Igor Pavlov  2009-05-30
  p7zip Version 9.04 (locale=en_US.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,1 CPU)

  Error: /home/back/Desktop/linkadressen_anzeige-1 (copy).8-fx.xpi is not
  supported archive

  System error:
  Operation not permitted

However, if you rename the file to .zip, then suddenly delete works...
