Installing the lbzip (2.5-2.1build1) package on AMD64 for Ubuntu 21.10 (impish) appears to be missing the actual binaries.

See the file list here:

As a workaround you can download and install lbzip2 package from 20.04 LTS by

cd ~/Downloads
wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lbzip2/lbzip2_2.5-2_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./lbzip2_2.5-2_amd64.deb

and pin its version by

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/pin-lbzip2
Package: lbzip2
Pin: version 2.5-2
Pin-Priority: 1337
EOF

to prevent its unnecessary upgrades.

@BITbyBIT Good to hear that worked for you. I'd still encourage you to file a bug report on [Launchpad](https://askubuntu.com/questions/5121/how-do-i-report-a-bug) so Canonical can be made aware of the issue. They don't pick up bug reports here on Ask Ubuntu. Thanks!

Done. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lbzip2/+bug/1960413 Apparently I am the first to report this. Also, note that installing the older package as a work around gets overwritten by subsequent updates to that package and the program files removed again, since the newer lbzip2 package is still missing its binary files.

Thanks, I've added version pinning to the answer.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
