Perfect! Downloading und building from the source of unar 1.10 from here did
the trick. Thanks a lot! :)
You build from source. Grabbing .debs from other distros is sure to either
not work or cause problems if it does.

That was my initial approach, but as described in my original post, I did not
succeed in installing the current version of unar. Any hint on how to do
that?
Btw, as I'm new to this forum two little off topic questions: How can I quote
and how can I format text as code?
You probably need a newer version of unar. It says it supports RARv5.
Thanks for the hint, I just tried that: I uninstalled unrar-free via synaptic
and opened the RAR archive through the file manager. Unfortunately Archive
Manager cannot open the file.
p7zip doesn't work ("unknown suffix -- ignored"). Tried 7za then, but no
success here either ("Error: Can not open file as archive").
try installing p7zip from the repo's (it's commandline only I think).
I'm trying to unpack a RAR archive in Trisquel 7. I assume it is the current
RAR format version 5.
I'v tried both unrar-free and unar. The former reports back...
"unknown archive type, only plain RAR 2.0 supported(normal and solid
archives), SFX and Volumes are NOT supported!"
