Strange Unrar Error

[darktka]

After downloading collections of rar files, extraction fails. Everything else like auto-downloading additional par2 files and concatenating split files works fine. Manually extracting those downloads also works perfectly.
I also get a strange error message. Here is the relevant extract from my logs:

Code: Select all

2012-09-13 03:20:36,239::INFO::[postproc:342] Running unpack_magic on testdownload

It seems that normally, "" would contain an error code but in my case it doesn't. I use version 0.7.3.

System: Debian Linux, ~4GB RAM, AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2GHz

Do you manually extract the files with unrar on the Debian system itself?
Ar you sure that you have only one unrar program and that you and SABnzbd use the same?
Can you email the output of the manual unrar session to bugs@sabnzbd.org ?
Preferably like this:
unrar -idp -o- -or name-of-first-rar name-of-destination-folder 2>&1 >log

Possibly unrar doesn't return a 0 exit code, which it should when there are no errors.
After unrar, type:
echo $?

Yes to both.

The manual unrar session output is rather boring:

All OK

Also:

Code: Select all

# echo $?
0

I mailed it to you anyway

Edit: I moved my sabnzbd.ini, thus resetting the whole application. Now unrar works again, so it's definitely a SABnzbd problem.

That depends.
Can you remove all personal data from the old ini file and email that too?
