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.


/home/user # apt-get install p7zip
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
p7zip
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/349kB of archives.
After this operation, 1024kB of additional disk space will be used.
Selecting previously deselected package p7zip.
(Reading database ... 48374 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking p7zip (from .../p7zip_9.04~dfsg.1-1-m5-1_armel.deb) ...
Setting up p7zip (9.04~dfsg.1-1-m5-1) ...
/home/user #

anyone have any idea what to do next.
cheers.

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

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