I see, but there's no reason to do that as it just causes confusion.
If you encounter a bug in a supported suite just file it.  The only
thing that's good to do is check if it isn't already reported.  It's
the maintainer's job to figure out if it is fixed or not in the higher
version.

This option (-mem) is undocumented and I can't say what it is doing.
unar successfully extracts an encrypted archive without it (it seems
7z is using AES-256 by default which is stronger) so I'm lowering the
severity.

BTW, unzip also cannot handle it:

$ unzip ../foo.zip 
Archive:  ../foo.zip
   skipping: bar                     need PK compat. v5.1 (can do v4.6)
   skipping: baz                     need PK compat. v5.1 (can do v4.6)

I don't have a clue what PK means.
