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").
