The problem seems to be that the tar file in question includes duplicate
entries (note the -d below):

> tar -tf ~/ideaIU-110.291.tar.gz |sort |uniq -d
idea-IU-110.291/bin/
idea-IU-110.291/help/
idea-IU-110.291/plugins/

With debug turned on, file-roller executes the following when extracting
this archive through the GUI:

	tar --force-local --no-wildcards -v -p -xf /home/mkennedy/Downloads/test.tar -C /tmp -T /home/mkennedy/.cache/.fr-bkTWzC/file-list -- 
[Thread 0x7fffdee20700 (LWP 31423) exited]
** ERROR **

> cat /home/mkennedy/.cache/.fr-bkTWzC/file-list
idea-IU-110.291/Install-Linux-tar.txt
idea-IU-110.291/bin/
idea-IU-110.291/bin/

idea-IU-110.291/license/
idea-IU-110.291/plugins/
idea-IU-110.291/plugins/
idea-IU-110.291/redist/

I would suggest that this is just a broken .tar file and move on,
however file-roller calls tar to do the work, and tar standalone can
extract this archive without problems. Also, invoking file-roller from
command line also works fine for this archive:

> src/file-roller --extract-to=/tmp ~/Downloads/ideaIU-110.291.tar.gz
> echo $?
0

It succeeds because file-roller from command line executes this instead:

[FR] fr-process.c:671 (start_current_command):
	0/0) 
	tar --force-local --no-wildcards -v -p -xf /home/mkennedy/Downloads/ideaIU-110.291.tar.gz -z -C /tmp -- 
[FR] fr-archive.c:944 (action_performed):
	EXTRACTING_FILES [DONE] (FR::Archive)


So I think this really is a bug in file-roller and that it should be robust enough to handle such an archive from the GUI.

Title:
  File Roller reports error on tar.gz extraction of known good archive

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: file-roller

  File Roller reports an error when attempting to extract IntelliJ Idea
  10 tar.gz archive (available from jetbrains.com). However this archive
  extracts fine from the command line using tar xvzf with no errors, so
  the archive is presumably a valid tar.gz archive that is not corrupt.
  No details are given on the nature of the error. Just a generic error
  message that says "An error occurred while extracting files".
