今天拿到一个包，后缀名为：xz
经查询，用xz-utils中的xz命令可以对其进行解压。
在Ubuntu-11.04下面进行如下操作：
# aptitude search xz
得如下结果：
p xz-lzma - XZ-format compression utilities - compatibility commands
p xz-utils - XZ-format compression utilities
p xzdec - XZ-format compression utilities - tiny decompressors
p xzgv - Picture viewer for X with a thumbnail-based selector
p xzip - Interpreter of Infocom-format story-files
p xzoom - magnify part of X display, with real-time updates
于是安装xz-utils
# sudo apt-get install xz-utils
完成后，查看帮助：
# xz --help
