Currently arqiver depends on '7zip' but it makes no use of it at all.
On the other hand it complains about '7z' command being missing when
opening or creating 7z file unless 'p7zip-full' package that provides
the 7z command is installed.

Either '7zip' dependency needs to be replaced with 'p7zip-full', or
the package patched to use '7zz' command instead of '7z' (or, even
better, make it work with either).

Thank you for reporting this bug.

I have made a patch so that now both 7zip and p7zip-full are supported.
I will also report this upstream, but I don't think my patch can be
accepted there, because I use an absolute path to check for 7zip
(/usr/bin/7zz). This is acceptable for Debian, but upstream has to
support non-standard paths too.
