Thanks for your help...

Just did what you suggested...but now I get

Code:

# 7z x  /home/user/MyDocs/maemo-sdk-rootstrap_5.0_10.2010.19-1_armel.tgz -o /floppy

Error:
Incorrect command line

FYI, I cd'd into /home/user/MyDocs before doing the above...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I was having this same "too many levels ..." problem. I tried purging and reinstalling p7zip several times. Finally I decided to remove XArchiver and do another p7zip purge/reinstall. That did it. P7zip worked fine again.

I then went and installed XArchiver again (from extras-devel) and the problem returned.

So, I removed Xarchiver, purged p7zip, and reinstalled XArchiver to see if it installed p7zip as a dependency. It didn't.

I then installed p7zip (with XArchiver already in place) and got the same "too many levels ..." error.

despite my efforts to find P7zip in extras-devel, I could not. (yes I have refreshed the cache)

I found file-roller though that seems to support quite a few formats and has a frontend. I'm guessing this is why P7zip is no longer in the repo?

p7zip in only installable trough the Terminal with the following command as root (having already enabled the extras-devel repository in the package manager):

apt-get install p7zip-full

The problem is due to circular links created during optifying step of p7zip install. If you remove p7zip and just use p7zip-full there is no issue. Can Xarchiver be updated to use p7zip-full instead of p7zip ?
