There is a workaround. You should install first the p7zip-full package. Then, make backup of the files inside /usr/lib/p7zip (these files will be overwritten by the wrong optifying that p7zip does in the installation). Make sure that you backup those files to a linux partition in order to maintain the file permissions. Then install p7zip and restore the backup files into /opt/maemo/usr/lib/p7zip, overwritting the wrong symlinks. That's all! You can install Xarchiver and everything will work perfectly.

Cheers!
