File-roller says it supports .7z but doesn't perform archive operations by itself, but relies on standard tools for this.
Ok so here is the problem! If you're telling this to a new user and they go to open a .7z package and File-Roller does not, then they think something is wrong and in order to give File-Roller the COMPLETE support it is suppose to have then all necessary packages needed to process this request should be marked as dependant packages that get installed when File-Roller is installed, in this case pzip or pzip-full should be installed by default and the end-user should not be doing this. This might not be a bug, BUT WHY list in Synaptic that a program supports a feature and then leave that out during the install? Makes no sense? Obviously Ubuntu DEV team thinks it's an added extra not needed for some, either way it's better to add it to make File-Roller as complete as possible so as not to confuse...
