Public bug reported: By default atool seems to look for a 7zip binary called 7z, but doing `apt-get install p7zip` gets you a binary called 7zr.
What I did: `atool -x [7zip archive]`. What I expected to happen: archive extracted to a dir in the current directory. What happened: failure with the message Can't exec "7z": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/atool line 1869. 7z: cannot execute - No such file or directory atool: 7z ...: non-zero return-code Adding the line: path_7z 7zr to /etc/atool.conf makes it work, at least for this use case.
