Hello,

When selecting a file in Nautilus and clicking right-click ->
Compress... and selected zip with password, attempting to proceed fails
with the message "encryption not supported".

The code path this supposedly uses is gnome-autoar, which itself uses
libarchive.

Thanks,

AFAIK our libarchive is outdated, it's apparently also why Evince can't
open comics anymore.

We're now at 3.6.1, while the latest release is 3.6.2.  I still
reproduce the problem.  It seems there's more to it than that.
