  1. And what about only installing p7zip, not "full" ?
    p7zip-full gives ZIP support but file-roller can manage those files...

    1. The difference between p7zip and p7zip-full is that the "full" also installs 7za. 7za is a stand-alone executable while 7z uses plugins to handle archives. File Roller can not manage anything on its own, it's only a graphical interface to archiving utilities.
