"Parsing filters unsupported" error during extraction of RAR file
I have received an .rar
which I wish to unpack as it contains something rather important to me that I need to really have now. However even though I can view the contents of the .rar
archive in the Archive Manager, I am unable to extract it due to this error:
The archive should contain two folders within it, each though contain at least 10 audio files as well as a PDF file each (I don't know what the contents exactly should be except for there should be audio files in there, and the content I have described is what I can see from the Archive Manager's view). So the only thing I am left with except the error is one of the folders and one of the audio files, but it says it has 0 bytes in it.
So how exactly do I fix this problem? I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 with GNOME 3.20.

In reply to a comment requesting the output from the dpkg -l unrar unrar-free

You can use:
sudo apt-get install unrar
or
sudo apt-get install unar
I recommend you install only one of these (unrar in my case). Then use archive manager:
sudo apt-get install file-roller
I did install unrar:
sudo apt-get install unrar
then to extract, go to the path of the .rar
file and:
unrar x [filename.rar]
