See the enclosed output of "strace ark 2>&1 | tee strace.ark.rar.file.txt" for details. Running "unrar-free some.valid.rar.file.rar" unpacks the rar files without any issues.

The enclosed files show strace output when starting Ark from the command prompt and when Ark opens navigating to the "/tmp/deleteme" dir and then trying to open a valid rar file "some.valid.rar.file.rar"
Does it happen with all rar files or just some? Any chance you can upload an affected file? Also, please check which RAR plugin are you using (you can do it in the Ark settings).
