You can see which files were installed by p7zip-full with dpkg -l p7zip-full (I guess some GUI packaging program can do that, too). Things in /usr/bin are then programs you might invoke. Read carefully the package descriptions for p7zip and p7zip-full to see the differences. maybe p7zip-full just installs some more tools beyond what p7zip would install, maybe the programs it installs (p7zip and friends) just have some extra super-powers. Maybe both. Cheers -- tomás signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Do you expect a GUI program with an own entry in the desktop menu? Sorry, but that's not. It's a cli progam only. The "full" means heree, that it comes with additional compressions or archives support (like RAR, RPM, CAB, etc.) which the original "p7zip" can't handle.

Try (in the shell): apt search p7zip It'll show you the packages matching p7zip and whether they're installed. Cheers -- tomás signature.asc Description: Digital signature
p7zip-full seems to be a built-in app for debian, but cannot be opened?
Hello friends! Searching for p7zip-full in synaptic, I can see that it is installed. However I can't find it anywhere. In the terminal: kaye@laptop:~$ sudo whereis p7zip [sudo] password for kaye: p7zip: /usr/bin/p7zip /usr/lib/p7zip /usr/share/man/man1/p7zip.1.gz but is that the full version? and how can I execute it? Thank you for your time. Kaye
