You can try installing 'unrar', that should work AFAIK.

If you're on Debian 'main' repos (only free-as-in-freedom packages) be advised that 'unrar-free' could have limited functionality. There's also 'unar' in that case.

Apparently this is the only official documentation: file:///usr/share/doc/xarchiver/index.html

You should have it if you have xarchiver installed.
