Re: 7zip not working

o.k. well I removed it, rebooted, installed it again and got the same problem. then i purged it, and installed it and what it's doing is using the original deb package.

~ $ sudo gainroot
Root shell enabled

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

anyone have any idea what to do next.

Re: 7zip not working

hmm... sounds like the person that packaged p7zip messed up then? try contacting him...

to make sure you can get a file list of the installed package by
dpkg -L p7zip

and if you are really adventurous, dissect the deb file by:

mkdir junk
cd junk
ar x p7zip*.deb
gunzip data.tar.gz
tar xf data.tar
and if you are lucky you will find the 7z binary in the innards now spilled into the "junk" directory. That is a gross way of going about it but the fastest way to advance: to sidestep the entire packager...

edit: to get "ar", apt-get install binutils

Re: 7zip not working

AFAIK, 7z is provided by package p7zip-full
p7zip gives only 7zr.
Had the same problem with 7z, trying to use 7zr...

Code:
