I'm not a user of jalview and have no idea about its value, but if you
would like to keep it, maybe it's possible to create a new SlackBuild
for the old version of p7zip, such SlackBuild will require no
maintaining.

Or (maybe better) the SlackBuild for jalview could contain old p7zip (or
download it from sourceforge).

Best regards,
Alexander
