solved - Unrar not working with unrar 5

Post by seerohr »

Hi

Im running a Debian 7.8 VM with Sabnzbd. the last years everything was fine.
After experiencing more and more rar archives that could not been extracted because of the usage of unrar5 i decided to upgrade unrar as well sabnzbd itself.
So I updated my sabnzbd to 1.0.3 (from 7.x) then the warning for old unrar version showed up in the interface. so as suggested in the link from sabnzbd i installed unrar version 5 from rarlabs.

Now Sabnzbd isn't able to unrar anything automaticaly...

Log says:
"Skipping unrar file check due to unreliable file names or old unrar"

So what have i done wrong? only followed what sabnzbd tells me.

apt-cache policy unrar
Installed: 1:3.9.10-1
Candidate: 1:3.9.10-1
Version table:
*** 1:3.9.10-1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

i found other posts regarding wrong rar version free vs non-free but i couldn't find out if there is a free verison for unrar 5 as well. and since sabdnzb itself told me to use the rarlabs one... don't know what to do now.
