And I use engrampa and not file-roller, and it works fine. Since they both rely on libarchive or zip/unzip, and Sigil works fine without either one installed, I cannot imagine why it would matter anyway.
The presence or absence of unrelated software should have zero effect on Sigil.

Sigil just uses the system libminizip.so, and no patches whatsoever are applied (except sigil-git patches the shellscript launcher to add the SIGIL_DICTIONARIES environment variable), just USE_SYSTEM_LIBS=1
