[edit]

I think we want to see your /etc/apt/sources.list file contents to make
sure you have the non-free repository available. Synaptic should have also
shown you the rar (3.5.4-1) mentioned by poster ArameFarpado. I've never
used it so I can't say if it will work for what you want to do but it
should be worth trying and usually people mention things because they work
for them. I did see a note about unrar-free, "Can't handle archives in
the RAR 3.0 format.", don't know if that applies to the file you want to
uncompress.
