p7zip-full is the package's name, which is not always the name of the binary it installed. 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
