I'm afraid I don't understand what you typed. Are you saying you have the non-free repositories enabled and you have installed unrar but you still cannot unrar files?

Are you sure that the rar archive you have isn't empty? Can you open it in another OS? I haven't had any problems unraring even multi-part archives using unrar on Debian.

yes, I am complete sure, if you don't understand something I say please let me know so i keep trying my English isn't that good

You have opened it with another operating system and it is not empty or corrupt?
Have you tried to open it from the GUI?

if a rar archive is incomplete/corrupt the output file is deleted, but you should be presented with an error

try

Code:

unrar x -kb file.rar

-kb is keep broken ( it won't delete the output file, even if broken )

root@debian:/home/blanka# unrar x -kb file.rar
unrar: invalid option -- 'k'
Try `unrar --help' or `unrar --usage' for more information.

thats the error I have
root@debian:/home/blanka/Downloads# unrar -x 181125.rar

there is no 'unrar-nonfree', it's either 'unrar' or 'unrar-free'. The 'unrar' is not opensource, the 'unrar-free' has problems unpacking newer .rar archives - that might be the problem.

blankanieves · 11-09-2013, 04:25 PM

yes you are right and that is the problem with dislexia everything looks the same i had tried to install the unrar (nonfree) but i cant and this one just let me empty folders

Why do you can't? Do you have nonfree repositories enabled?
