Bug Description

This bug has been recently fixed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unzip/+bug/580961

But the problem is that when p7zip-full is installed unzip is handled by p7zip. There is no way to set File Roller to use unzip instead.
Test case is exactly same as in previous bug.

The most annoying is that playonlinux depends on p7zip-full and I have to uninstall it every time I work with archives.

There may be another solution. To set file-roller to use unzip instead of p7zip for zip files.

I disabled usage of p7zip-full by file-roller. This fixes this bug. It is to hard for me at the moment to patch p7zip itself.

Very actual bug.
To set file-roller to use unzip instead of p7zip for zip files is only temporary solution and only for file-roller.
p7zip used in many projects and should be corrected like unzip.

Added patched file-roller for vivid.
Here is the patch. I think it is a good idea to commit this patch to main. It will solve a lot of problems for many users.
And no regression at all. P7zip-full is not installed to Ubuntu by default, and unzip is used.
So there is no problem to keep using it, while p7zip-full is installed.
It is hard to patch p7zip itself, and it is not likely someone does it soon.

Someone seems to have attempted to forward this upstream but then they never responded to the feedback in the Debian ticket. Under those circumstances, this is unlikely to proceed.

I've tried Unxed's p7zip patch on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04, and worked good for Japanese filenames.
