Package: less
Version: 436-1
Severity: normal
Running lesspipe archive.7z will result in the following error:
"No 7za available"
This will happen even if the p7zip package is installed.
However, if p7zip-full package is installed, it will work just fine.
lesspipe is using /usr/bin/7za to view the contents of 7-Zip files.
However, there are currently 2 packages in debian capable of handling
7-Zip files:
p7zip-full - which provides /usr/bin/7za - a standalone version of the
7-zip tool that handles 7z archives
p7zip - which provides /usr/bin/7zr - a standalone *minimal*
version of the 7-zip tool that only handles 7z archives.
lesspipe can support the 7-Zip format using the standalone minimal
version, /usr/bin/7zr.
Here's a patch that adds /usr/bin/7zr as a fallback in case
/usr/bin/7za is not found:
