Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

I unpacked an installation DVD that contained symbolic links into a web server directory intended for http installation. The top level directory included a symbolic link. This link was unpacked by file-roller as an plain empty file. Now symlinks are not part of the ISO 9660 file system format but they are often used via the Rock Ridge extensions. Please support unpacking these symbolic links as symbolic links of file system that can support these.
