I've been thinking about it. But then we already had an ~ so I got
confused. Now that I look it I have no idea where that beta2 is comming
from. So let me fix that up the way you recommend and retest it…

Ah right. So libclamunrar is the next one to get ready

Hmmm. Not sure if there is a typo and you meant 'unrar' instead but
there is also an 'unar' package. The former has problems with "some v3"
archives and the latter does not mention any limitions. But then it
depends on gnustep (yay!) and nothing else so I wonder where that rar
code is comming from. It isn't documented as far as I can tell and you
can't study the unrar code. 7z has a rar plugin which is also in
non-free. So I would be suprised if the situation here is different. But
lets have a look :)
