Apparently after the switch to the new plugin model, few formats which are zip files in disguise, like OpenDocument (tested with odt and ods) and epub can't be opened anymore. The following error is printed on the command line: ark.kerfuffle: Could not find a plugin to handle '/path/to/the/file' and the following message is shown inside the informative widget on the top of the main window: Ark was not able to open myfilename.ext. No suitable plugin found. Ark does not seem to support this file type. Please note that jar files do work. I suspect other formats are affected. Reproducible: Always

Git commit 8b9cd300c354cc1a8b14d5cd1ae75c25ad424927 by Elvis Angelaccio. Committed on 05/06/2016 at 18:15. Pushed by elvisangelaccio into branch 'Applications/16.04'. Fix opening of files whose mimetype inherits from a supported mimetype Before 16.04 Ark used to be able to open files whose mimetype is not directly registered with Ark, but inherits from a mimetype that is supported by Ark. Examples are .odt and .epub files that both inherits from application/zip. Since we don't use anymore KMimeTypeTrader (since 16.04), we need to manually do this check while loading our plugins.
