For those who needs 7z support in ark in Ubuntu 24.04 there's a walkaround: 
remove 7zip package which is shipped with 24.04 (it won't work properly without 
qt5 fix anyway) and install older versions of packages, which provide 7z 
support, taken from the previous release:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/mantic/amd64/p7zip
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/mantic/amd64/p7zip-full
Download DEB-packages and install them:
sudo dpkg -i p7zip_16.02+dfsg-8_amd64.deb p7zip-full_16.02+dfsg-8_amd64.deb
In order to prevent them from updating (in 24.04 they are empty transitional 
packages) put them on hold:
sudo apt-mark hold p7zip-full
