SABnzbd Forums

All of my downloads keep failing. I have tried to update Unrar as Sabnzbd keeps telling me that I need a new version. I now keep getting the following message:

Your UNRAR version is 0.00, we recommend version 5.00 or higher.

And today, this started happening:

Error "[Errno 8] Exec format error" while running rar_unpack on


I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff so any help will be greatly appreciated!

On what OS?

Raspbian

Ah. And how did you install "unrar"? You need "unrar-nonfree" from raspbian.

(this is for debian: https://packages.debian.org/search?sear ... ar-nonfree )

"Exec error" means you downloaded an unrar for another platform/architecture, for example the intel version, which you try to run on your ARM based Raspi. Not good.


After that, check the unrar version you have like this:
... that is a good version.

I get the following:

-bash: /usr/bin/unrar: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error


I couldn't find any version of unrar other than the unrar-nonfree version. I can't remember the guide that I used to try an install the nonfree version (I think the guide was outdated) but clearly I either missed a step or I did something incorrectly.

Can you recommend a guide to correctly install this version?

This is a Raspbian problem, so probably best to get help on the Raspi / Raspbian forum.

unrar-nonfree on Raspbian is quite hard (google it), because of fundamental problems of Debian people with unrar-nonfree.

On Ubuntu, unrar-nonfree is just available with one command. That's why I left Raspi/Raspbian, and switched to ARM-boards with Armbian (=Ubuntu based)

Could be a 32bit / 64bit problem?
