Thank you for your bug report. Is that still an issue and if so could
you explain exactly what you mean by 'the output folder is or is below a
symbolic link'?

Title:
file-roller fails to extract zip|rar|tar to symlinked directories
Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
File-roller fails to extract rar, zip, xz and tar archives when
1) the output folder is or is below a symbolic link
and
2) extraction is run from the context menu (Extract Here)
The typical error message is:
"There was an error while extracting <filename>". The file is not a
directory."
Extraction does work when I
1) navigate to the actual location of the output folder or move the
archive(s) to a location that is not a symbolic link
or
2) open the archive and run "Extract to" from its menu (which is quite
cumbersome when there are dozens of archives to process...).
I am dual booting 20.04 and 21.10 with a single home directory (which
is where the problematic symlink is located). The issue I am reporting
occurs only when I am using 21.10.
