Description:

The pacakge xarchiver in version 0.5.4-2-x86_64 has the optional dependency arj for ARJ support though this package does not exist in the official repositories.
There is, however, a package unarj in community.

Additional info:
* 0.5.4-2-x86_64

Steps to reproduce:

1) Make sure, xarchiver is not installed
$ pacman -R xarchiver
2) Install xarchiver with
$ pacman -S xarchiver
You'll see, amongt others, the following optional dependency:
arj: ARJ support
3) Try to install that dependency:
$ pacman -S arj
You'll get something like:
error: target not found: arj

xarchiver does not support the unarj command, so I simply removed arj from optdepends.
