Changing the default assignee in the currently open Ark bug reports to me.
*** Bug 349038 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I have Kubuntu 17.04 with Ark 16.12.3 Ark gave me an error that it wasn't able to open RAR files. I used this code to install unrar (0.0.1) sudo apt-get install unrar-free Now I get an error that "The archive is empty or Ark could not open its content." From these two posts it seems that at some point RAR access was integrated into Ark and then regressed and then was reintegrated. https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5623679 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ark/+bug/1636655 When I install UNRAR from Discover or use the command: sudo apt-get install unrar Then I can open RAR archives with Ark. Checking the version, sudo unrar -v returns UNRAR 5.40 freeware Copyright (c) 1993-2016 Alexander Roshal
