Bug#789586: unar: Fails to extract files from a RAR archive embedded into an .exe

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: unar
Version: 1.8.1-4
Severity: normal

Hi there,

unar fails to extract the .cab files from the Arx Fatalis demo
archive, which is provided as a RAR archive embedded into an .exe
file. Please see here for the archive and download instructions:

http://ds.nordicgames.at/arxfatalis/arx_demo_english.exe
http://wiki.arx-libertatis.org/Getting_the_game_data

This became apparent while preparing to package the game data during
game-data-packager development, hence the CC.

Cheers,

Fabian
