[Bug 66534] Ark does not process archives containing files with cyrillic names

[jaded Phoenix]

Public bug reported:

Ark does not process archives containing files with cyrillic names.
When I try to open the archived file, ark displays files names with garbage symbols in place of cyrillic ones. When I try to extract a file ark produces an error message: "The file <different garbage symbols>.doc doesn't exist".
Surprisingly, the archive file's context menu item "extract to..." in Konqueror works! Maybe it's because this item does not require passing file name to upzip backend?

Actually, I believe that it's not a problem of ark itself, but of unrar, unzip, p7zip, gzip, etc.
When I try to list the contents of th archive in the konsole, it also displays that wrecked names, and I can not make konsole display them good, there just isn't codepage that fits it.

So I believe these utils produce output in some codepage (presumably,
cp1251), which is not converted, but is sent to the output directly
(which leads to re-coding it as utf8).

** Affects: kdeutils (Ubuntu)
