[SOLVED] Unpack multi-archive

rockhopper_penguin · 11-07-2013, 08:35 AM

Hi,

I tried unarchiving with archive manager, then installed ark, unrar, p7zip and what more. But I cannot unpack my multi-archives and neither does Sabnzbd, which never had a problem on any other OS.

I run debian.

I tried commandline: unrar name-of-my-file.part01.rar, but errors..

Code:

unrar 0.0.1  Copyright (C) 2004  Ben Asselstine, Jeroen Dekkers


Extracting from /

Extracting  i.1080p.BluRay.x264-SPARKS.idx Failed    
Extracting  i.1080p.bluray.x264-sparks.mkv Failed    
2 Failed

(I shortened the error and removed the title, because of copyright infringement)

Version number 0.0.1 is a little odd too, since I have just installed rar from rarlab myself, should be version 5 (non-free-trial??)

Any advise on this matter?

I use unrar (non-free) on debian:

Code:

$ cat /etc/debian_version 
6.0.8

$ unrar

UNRAR 3.93 freeware      Copyright (c) 1993-2010 Alexander Roshal

Usage:   ......

It doesn't give me any problems (assuming the archive isn't corrupt):

Code:

unrar e abc.rar

Extracting from abc.rar

Extracting  abc.wmv              9%

Extracting from abc.r00
.
.
.
Extracting from abc.r09

...         abc.wmv             OK 
All OK

I compiled the program from official source and installed. That helped. Now showing v5.0 and unpacking properly

.

Guess its better to compile from source yourself sometimes.
