All,
What version of Debian is 6.3.5 using, is it still on Wheezy? I would like to add the non-free unrar.

All,
I attempted the procedure above to update unrar but I get the following message:
oot@penguin-nas:~# apt-get install unrar

Unpacking unrar (from .../unrar_1%3a4.1.4-1_amd64.deb) ...Unrar is still the same version as before:

Can you also install the .deb unrar package thru the webgui?
# dpkg -l | grep unrar
All,
Sorry for not reacting any sooner, I found an other way to install the latest unrar:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/open-rar-file-or-extract-rar-files-under-linux-or-unix/
# cd /tmp
Download from rarlab, check the version first
# wget http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-x64-5.3.b4.tar.gz
Unpack
# tar -zxvf rarlinux-*.tar.gz
# cd rar
Check that this version runs and is the one you want (adding ./ before the command makes sure you execute the version in your current directory.
#./unrarBackup your current rar and unrar versions:
# mv /usr/local/bin/unrar /usr/local/bin/unrar-old
# mv /usr/local/bin/rar /usr/local/bin/rar-old
Copy new version to bin
# cp rar unrar /usr/local/bin
# cd ~
You should now be able to run the new version from anywhere
# unrar
The reason I needed a new version was that unrar crashed as soon as I started to unpack the large multipart rar files I downloaded of the internet. A quick test this morning showed that the newly downloaded version works better.
