I decided to experiment a little, since this error is annoying.

I downloaded the last version of file-roller, 3.3.2, in source code
form, unzipped it and build it.

$ cd file-roller-3.3.2
$ ./configure
$ make

Then I copied the executables in src to the following locations:

$ cd src
$ sudo cp file-roller /usr/bin
$ sudo cp file-roller-server /usr/lib/file-roller/

And now everything works as a charm. Drag & Drop is fully functional
again. I know I should not install binaries this way, though this error
is so annyoing, and has been unattended for so long as well, that I
think that yes, it is justified.

So, the fix to the problem is to pack and the distribute the last file-
roller.
