Public bug reported: I had a .7z (encrypted) archive I needed to open. At first attempt, file roller informed me that an additional package was required to manage that archive format (don't remember which one, I'm sorry).
I let it install the software but I wasn't able to extract the software anyway. All I got was an error message and not even a password request. Only after I checked via the terminal whether the .7z codec was installed, apt told me that the package p7zip-full was required. I installed p7zip-full and File roller went smoothly after that. I think that archive manager should have triggered the installation of p7zip-full itself.
