File-roller, the gnome archive utility, depends on p7zip-full, which
provides support for quite a few formats. If you want to work with these
from the terminal, the pz7ip* packages provide various binaries like 7z,
7za, 7zr, and p7zip, which all do similar but slightly different things.

List of supported formats: (in p7zip-full)
 * Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2, XZ and TAR
 * Unpacking only: APM, ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, FAT, HFS,
ISO, LZH, LZMA, LZMA2, MBR, MSI, MSLZ, NSIS, NTFS, RAR (only if non-free
p7zip-rar package is installed), RPM, SquashFS,
   UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR and Z.
