Description Osipov Oleg 2015-05-12 19:24:17 UTC 
Okular cannot open .cbr files. It complains about being not able to find the unrar while unrar is present and working. I suspect it tries to verify if unrar binary is correct unrar but fails because unrar being non-GNU software does not respond good to "--version" argument. My proposal is to remove that redundant check and live happily and forever.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have rar or unrar installed
2. Open .cbr file with okular

Actual Results:  
Okular says it cannot find unrar

Expected Results:  
Read comics.
