When listing files inside a 7z archive containing multiple
files, packed size is 0 byte for all files beyond the first.
That happens on both console and GUI versions of 7-Zip.
> 0 is better in case of calculating total pack size.
I don't know what you mean by better, but reporting 0 bytes in
subsequent packed files certainly doesn't add up to total
pack size in solid 7z archives, especially when the packed
size of first file is not equal to total packed size.

Although packed size of first file in solid archive shows total
packed size, the placement of such information is confusing to
the users. Such data should be listed at a row away from any
lines representing files inside archive, and packed size column
should not be listed or listed with more meaningful messague
such as 'aggregated'. In the 7-Zip File Manager, a proper
solution is to list such info in a separate archive properties
window, which also shows other aggregated data about the
archive and verbose information of individual files.

In future 7z archive will be able to contain several solid
blocks. So it will be more than one file with packed size
> 0. But I still want to keep correct values for total
packed size in list command:
7z l a.7z

It's not bug. 7-zip doesn't know compressed size when
solid compression.

Then it should just say 'unknown' or 'unavailable'.

Packed size of first file in solid archive is equal to total
packed size.
So sum will be equal to full packed size.
