I see that this exact same issue has been raised before Parsing filters unsupported but I followed what was suggested sudo apt-get install unrar and sudo apt-get install file-roller but still got the same error code, so no success. Trying to unpack a rar download from archives. I can read it there but cannot unpack it. Someone there asked the OP to run this code: dpkg -l unrar unrar-free

if that is helpful, here is the response

    Welcome to Ask Ubuntu!, the unrar-free package available on Universe Repository. add it with following sudo add-apt-repository universe && sudo apt update and install it Jan 12, 2019 at 15:17

  • Yes, as I said, "that did it." Thanks.
