I repeat: I installed the unrar package (from Livna as it happens). Ark used to work with .rar files on F8 and now it doesn't. I'm assuming that Ark used the unrar package but of course maybe it used to have its own internal implementation and this has now been withdrawn because of licensing, I don't know. The only thing I ever used Ark for was .rar as I can handle tar, tgz, zip, gzip, bzip etc. on my own. poc -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
