    Depending on your target system you can grab a recent version of rar from..

    https://rarlab.com/download.htm

    Or if you just want to decompress rar files grab the unrar executables
    or source from..

    https://rarlabs.com/rar_add.htm

    On my slackware box I just extract the source to a temporary
    directory, change to that directory and run "make" followed by "sudo
    make install" and I am good to go.

    Thanks for the tips! At the end of the day I have managed to open it using the xarchiver package.

    Did you have enabled the "non-free" repository of debian? ;)

    Probably not, but I managed to open it using the xarchive package.

    Thanks for the tips! At the end of the day I have managed to open it
    using the xarchiver package.

    I also use xarchiver on the desktop to handle rar archives.

    What OS is giving you trouble with rar archives?

    Ttyl :-),

    I am using unrar-free to unpack them. Any hints on what could be the cause?

    If you use the Linux version of RAR from the RAR home page, you should have
    no problems.
