sfx

I have installed both rar and unrar using apt-install but I am still not able to use archive manager for opening the archive file.. I have also tried installing p7zip(p7zip-full and p7zip) but no improvements...

However, when I use command-line for extracting the files from the archive using unrar or rar the command executes successfully...

Is there any other open source software I should install for viewing the contents of the SFX archive or what else should I install to view the same in the archive manager..

Thanks in advance...
