Public bug reported:

File-Roller switched from p7zip to official 7zip utility since version
43.alpha , see

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/commit/b798bbd96d3777c20026f1dc2d3e15ecb5bc853d
and 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/commit/a4359d11e05023605c4270c67ad703bc8a71f8fd

but File-Roller Ubuntu/Debian package version 43-1 still depends on abandoned 
by upstream p7zip-full, while it should depend on 7zip package instead of 
p7zip-full 
or maybe better to have "Depends: 7zip | p7zip-full" ?

There are lots of bugs in p7zip, for example some large zip files cannot be 
extract on 16.02 but can on 9.20, see 
https://sourceforge.net/p/p7zip/discussion/383044/ and
http://bugs.debian.org/src:p7zip also 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/p7zip

It seems Debian developers planing to replace p7zip-full with official
7zip package, see https://bugs.debian.org/991428

Also there is a related note in NEWS file:
 - Distros will want to adjust the `data/packages.match` file.

Some archive managers in Ubuntu/Debian already depends on official 7zip
package instead of p7zip, see arqiver for example.
