SABnzbd 0.7.3 "No UNRAR program found"
I just bought, downloaded and installed Python 2.7 and SABnzbd 0.7.3 for my NV+.
Went through the installation steps, it can connect to my usenet provider (using SSL if that matters).
However I get a warning in SABnzbd "No UNRAR program found, unpacking RAR files is not possible".
Through SSH I found that newsunpack.py is here "./usr/share/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbd/newsunpack.py".
I have no clue what's wrong and hope someone can help.

Dear ReadyNAS User,
After the release of the SABnzbd (Sparc) add-on a fellow user found that in some cases the UNRAR utility won't get installed on fresh installs of the add-on. To fix this issue, the attached updated add-on was released and is sent out to you for updating.
To update you current install of the SABnzbd add-on, please install the attached version over the existing version on your ReadyNAS. Do NOT uninstall the currently installed version.
Sincere apologies for this inconvenience.
Best regards,
ReadyNAS Xtras
I downloaded and installed the update, but now I get a warning saying "Your UNRAR version is not recommended, get it from http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm" - Since you have SSH access, could you please send the output from
dpkg -l | grep unrar
The version of unrar should be 4.1.4 which is one of the latest available. Unfortunately SAB constantly fails to detect the version it dislikes correctly.
-Stefan - Stefan,
The output for that is:unrar 1:4.1.4-1.1rnx0 Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version)
- That's the latest version and as supected, SAB just fails to detect it properly. Should work fine but if you encounter any problems with unpacking please let me know.
-Stefan - If I got an old version, how do I upgrade unrar then?
I have a Readynas ultra 6 with Radiator 4.2.22 and sabnzbd 0.7.6 (x86).
Output for dpkg -l | grep unrar is:
# dpkg -l | grep unrar
ii unrar 1:3.5.4-1.1 Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version)
And unrar version shows:
# unrar
UNRAR 3.51 freeware Copyright (c) 1993-2005 Alexander Roshal
---------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: Reinstalling sabnzbd fixed it!
Output for dpkg -l | grep unrar is now:
# dpkg -l | grep unrar
ii unrar 1:4.1.4-1.1rnx0 Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version)
And unrar version shows now:
# unrar
UNRAR 4.10 freeware Copyright (c) 1993-2012 Alexander Roshal - How do I manually update unrar?
- You don't. Either use the one installed by default, or the one bundled with the version of Sabnzbd you purchase from WhoCares.
- My SAB is not unraring files, I also get the message:
Your UNRAR version is not recommended, get it from http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm - Reinstall whichever version of SABnzbd you have over the top of itself. If you've installed Transmission (or an update to it) by Super-Poussin, it will replace the UNRAR version installed by SABnzbd with an older (not recommend) version. Re-installing SABnzbd over the top of itself will solve this problem.
