Public bug reported:


Upon trying to open a password-protect ZIP file in Archive Manager/file-roller, I'm correctly prompted for a password.  However, on pressing enter/clicking "OK", I then get an error dialog stating:

An error occurred while extracting files.
> Command Line Output
error:  must give decryption password with -P option

... on trying again without quitting file-roller, I'm not prompted for a
password - it simply shows the same dialog.  If I deliberately enter the
*wrong* password, then the "Password required" dialog immediately re-
opens - so it's not a mis-typed password issue.
