Title: file-roller cannot open filetypes with derived mimetypes (e.g. epub and ods files) Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Given three files A, B and C, where A is a zip file (a.zip), B is an ePub file (b.epub) and C is an ODF Spreadsheet file (c.ods) ... All files have "Open With > Archive Manager" as a menu option in nautilus. This is likely due to the shared-mime-info database having the ePub and ODS mimetypes as <sub-class-of type="application/zip"/>. File A will open successfully, while files B and C report "Could not open 'A'" / "Archive type not supported". However, renaming B and C so they have a .zip extension will cause the files to be opened correctly. This is likely due to file-roller checking the filetype to load by extension, not magic. This is indeed the case as giving a text file a .zip extension causes file-roller to report "An error occurred while loading the archive" (End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive.)
