I'm on Quantal and after a fresh install I don't have the p7zip package. By a research I understand that is not recommended more. However there is a strict dependence for file-roller: p7zip-full, but is superseded by the zip package so for a standard installation the 7z compression is not supported by default.

I suggest to add p7zip to ubuntu default installation to provide the functionality of splitting large files (very useful to back up files > 4 GB on an extern FAT32 hard drive for instance) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/276496/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
