Dear Maintainers,
I just tried to report this old bug using "reportbug" but something went wrong.
So I write you because this important bug was fixed in Engrampa
source code more than one year ago, (thanks to 7zip Debian package
maintainer Yokota Hiroshi and Mate Desktop member zhuyaliang) but
the fix never did it to the Engrampa Debian Testing Package, and
now that Debian Testing is freezing it is more important than ever
to fix it.
Package: engrampa
Version: 1.26.2-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
A change of version in package 7zip in Testing, more than a
year ago, made Engrampa unusable for password protected compressed
files
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I wrote to Engrampa developers and the bug was fixed in
source code in february 2024.
The issue in source code was this:
https://github.com/mate-desktop/engrampa/issues/510
And the fix was this:
https://github.com/mate-desktop/engrampa/pull/513/commits/7c96bb400bea73596b80f76b04310f5243a6a550
* What was the outcome of this action?
I compiled Engrampa from source code with the fix, and the
issue was solved, but Engrampa packagers in Debian never updated
the package. So all Mate Desktop users in Debian Testing have to
use another archivers like xarchive to deal with password
protected compressed files.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
After more than one year waiting, and now that Debian Testing
is freezing to a new stable, I think you should update Debian
package Engrampa 1.26 with the old fix.
