Description Ash Kyd 2006-12-10 20:43:08 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
File roller can not extract, rename, or delete a file from a tarball when the filename contains a backquote (`).

Presumably much the same as bug #384499, in that the filename isn't being sufficiently escaped before being passed to tar.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a file named "test`"
2. Right click in Nautilus and select "Create Archive..."
3. Choose .tar
4. Open the archive in file-roller.
5. Attempt to rename, delete, or extract the file named "test`"


Actual results:
The file should be renamed, deleted, or extracted depending on the operation.

Expected results:
An error dialog occurs, providing command line output: "/bin/sh: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution"

Does this happen every time?
Sure does.
