Other files succeed, though.  Two thoughts about the password for the problematic file:

* It started with a hypen;
* It contained a "<" character.

... so is this a case of insufficient quoting/guarding?

Title:
  Archive Manager fails to handle password-protected ZIP files

Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  
  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.
