Very afraid, I removed the new package:
# dpkg -r p7zip-full
(Reading database ... 28708 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing p7zip-full ...
Installed the old one:
# dpkg -i p7zip_4.43~dfsg.1-2_amd64.deb
Selecting previously deselected package p7zip.
(Reading database ... 28646 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking p7zip (from p7zip_4.43~dfsg.1-2_amd64.deb) ...
Setting up p7zip (4.43~dfsg.1-2) ...
Same problem as above.
Any idea what bug I am hitting?
No bad memory or disks here, all is well, other formats (bzip2 have no
issues)?
