Ark Error Message after upgrade

When I to compress a folder (from Ark or Dolphin), The following error message appears:

Opening the archive for writing failed with the following error: Failed to clean up compressor

What does it mean and how do I fix it?

This started after upgrading one computer from open SUSE 12.2 to 12.3 and another after upgrading from 12.3 to 13.1

Cordially,
