Hi,

Cannot confirm here. Okular 0.26 successfully opens cbr.

Do you have unrar package installed?

Thanks in advance for your answer.
Comment 2 humufr 2016-09-20 10:28:23 UTC 
I didn't have unrar but rar installed. I changed it for unrar but I have the same problem. I would have been surprised if that was the cause since it used to work with the previous version.

I am using archlinux package from kde-unstable. 

Thanks.
Comment 3 Luigi Toscano 2016-09-20 10:31:39 UTC 
iirc nothing relevant changed in that part of code. Maybe... which version of shared-mime-info do you have? 1.7?
Comment 4 humufr 2016-09-20 10:37:19 UTC 
Yes this is the one 1.7
Comment 5 Luigi Toscano 2016-09-20 10:40:05 UTC 
1.7 broke rar support in many application, as introduced a new MIMEType for that format. See for example:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368786
Does downgrading to 1.6 work for now?
Comment 6 humufr 2016-09-20 11:08:54 UTC 
Yes it is the problem. I downgrad to 1.6 and now it is working. This bug can be closed or transferred to shared-mime-info.

thanks

Open CBR files with shared-mime-info >= 1.7

Not ideal fix surely but it'll do for the moment
