Why does Drag&Drop from Engrampa (*.tar.gz content) to Thunar not work?

Question

There's a tooltip when dragging (see the screenshot below) but at dropping it flies back to Engrampa and nothing is done: no unzip, no untar, no mkdir(s), no copy, no sudo password dialog, no info/error message whatsoever.

$ uname -v
#40~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 14 12:06:25 UTC 2019

Thunar 1.6.15

Engrampa 1.20.0

Answer 1

Most likely your are missing the "thunar-archive-plugin". Try to (re-)install it. If this doesn't solve it, try following the instructions here.

Answer 2

Did it with:

• $ sudo mc
  [sudo] password for ...:
  

• F5Copy

However, if such simple functions fail silently, I'm not going to change to a Linux desktop once Win 7 support expires. :(

UPDATE

After performing (as suggested in Eroldin's answer):

$ sudo apt-get update
...
$ sudo apt-get install thunar-archive-plugin
...
thunar-archive-plugin is already the newest version (0.3.1-4).
...

there's a message now, at least:

A sudo password dialog, as known from other apps, would be nicer, however. (And the target folder's name isn't "", too.)
