Allow unrar to overwrite files #512
Conversation
On systems without the appropriate 7zip functionality, corrupt files will be created in the working directory, causing unrar to fail as its default behavior is to disallow overwriting files with the same names.
Recommend to install p7zip-rar on Debian based systems, as it is needed to properly decompress rar files (As explained under "supported formats" on https://packages.debian.org/sid/p7zip-full).
What linux distribution are you using?
We should maybe revert #370 instead |
I am using Debian 11 (stable). Strangely enough I get the same output as you when trying to use unrar manually, but it works from within the program. |
I'm not sure this is needed. The recommended package for linux installation is flatpak and its 7z version manages rar files. On fedora, 7z gives an error (nothing is unrared) and then falls back to unrar. |

I described the problem in my comment on #489 . The unrar fallback is not necessary on Debian based systems, you just have to install p7zip-rar. I was running from source, not using flatpak. |
thanks, I added your readme changes to #515 |
On systems without the appropriate 7zip functionality, corrupt files will be created in the working directory, causing unrar to fail as its default behavior is to disallow overwriting files with the same names. Fixes #489
