Unrar - multiple volume support

[matkr265]

I would like to decompress rar archives that span over multiple files on my bubba.

unrar-free that is available via apt-get does not have the ability to do so, is there another version of unrar available that handles multiple rar-files?

Code: Select all

file00.rar
file01.r01
file02.r02
.
.
.
file0n.r0n

Sincerely, Matias

In /etc/apt/sources.list under the entry for ftp.debian.org, add after "main" the string "non-free", after that issue "apt-get update" and "apt-get install rar". This will install the non-free (shareware) version of rar, i.e. http://packages.debian.org/etch/rar.

Might be worth looking at 7-zip as well, as that handles rar quite well.

I did as you said but I got the message "E Package rar has no installation candidate", but to me it looks like it has found the correct repositories when I do apt-get update?

Package rar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
