[GIS] Import Esri/ArcGIS .e00 files to QGIS on Linux (getting error message)

e+00importqgis

I can't seem to import Esri .e00 files into QGIS, and I can't figure out why. I'm trying to import files I've downloaded from ftp://ftp.granit.sr.unh.edu/pub/GRANIT_Data/Vector_Data/Environment_and_Conservation/d-landcover/d-1995/. Based on the answer to this question: Adding .e00 data into QGIS, I tried importing lan23205.e00 as a vector file, and get an error message stating that it is "not a valid or recognized data source"

What is going on here?

Note: I'm running Ubuntu Linux.

They are raster coverages, not vector. I was able to open one of them using the Add Raster Layer button in QGIS. Here's what gdalinfo says about the file:
