Thanks for that hint! |

app-arch/unar currently seems to be the only free choice for kde-apps/ |
| 11 |
kdeutils-meta-19.08.3[rar]: |
| 12 |
rar? ( || ( |
| 13 |
app-arch/rar |
| 14 |
app-arch/unrar |
| 15 |
app-arch/unar |
| 16 |
) ) |

Does anyone know, does kde-apps/ark (for which kdeutils-meta depends on the |
| 19 |
rar implementations) also support app-arch/libarchive for RAR files? Is any |
| 20 |
useflag needed to get RAR support in libarchive? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If kde-apps/ark does support unpacking RAR files with app-arch/libarchive, |
| 23 |
could it please be added to that dependency list? Then app-arch/unar could be |
| 24 |
removed from my system. |
