You *should* be able to extract with p7zip-plugins rpm installed and then use "7z x file.rar" (note, *not* 7za x file.rar) but for some reason the folks that built the p7zip-plugins rpm didn't compile the 7z.so with the rar format plugin in it. FWIW, I grabbed the 9.20.1 source code for 7zip, built it in about 5 minutes, and can use the 7z that built from there with for extracting rar archives with no problem so I'm not sure why the Fedora folks don't build 7z with the needed plugins in 7z.so.
