It seems things are a bit more complex than this. There are 3 incarnations of the 7z binary depending on the formats it supports: 7z, 7za and 7zr. Different distributions package different flavors by default (7za for Fedora, 7zr for Debian, 7z and 7za for SUSE.) Arbitrary calling "7za x" to uncompress .7z archives if going to fail on some systems.

I think this model is broken and I wish upstream p7zip maintainers would give up on it. Interfacing with this packaging model is a nightmare :-(

The 7z format will be a pain to support. For one thing, it can be used as both an archive compression format (like zip) and a stream compression format (like gzip), which causes confusion. For another, the tool's command line offers no option for quietness, as tar and unzip do, resulting in a very verbose output.

Anyway, I have a patch adding basic support for 7z archives, I'll attach it, please test it and report.

Or better, it seems to extract them, but I'm not sure where.
Certainly not in the working directory.

Tried both with 0.63 and 0.65, see attached log.

P.S: If repackaged as tar.gz everything works smoothly.
