In a perfect world wouldn't 7zip be a listed dependancy and thus install with playonlinux? – Jason Aug 17 '13 at 19:05

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. This answer includes extra packages that are in no way associated with what is being asked. Could you explain why xterm and unrar are needed for PlayOnLinux?; by editing your answer. Another option would be to delete. Please do not be offended to better understand how Ask Ubuntu works invest some time in the help centre and about features of this site. – geezanansa Aug 11 '13 at 02:18
