I am using Mint 10 (Julia) based on Ubuntu 10.10. I had problem when trying to extract files with Turkish letter (ş, ç, ö, ğ ...) from and archive. It gave naming error. There was question marks in place of those letters.
I search "archive" in software manager and I uninstalled many relevant (at least I thought so) components like p7zip, unzip, unrar, file-roller etc. Then I installed deb package of Peazip from its website. I didn't like it then I uninstalled it and installed file-roller only (from software manager). I don't know how but the problem has disappeared.

Title:
  Should autodetect filename character encoding in zip files

Status in File Roller:
  Confirmed
Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “xarchiver” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: file-roller

  Many compressed file such as zip don't specify filename encoding. But
  file-roller read every file as UTF-8, so it sometimes makes encoding
  problem.

  I think may be, you could think that it's not a big problem or it's
  not a bug or we don't need those feature. If you deal with only
  English it's not a problem at all. But it's a big problem for East
  Asian people such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Because zip file is
  still popular. And many people compress zip file in Windows, and share
  the zip files. Windows don't use UTF-8.

  Many CJK people want to uncompress these zip files. There are some way
  to solve this problem (by another software). But all are too complex
  to Ubuntu newbies. I wish file-roller support encoding select
  function.
