That python release is from last year, as is the version of unrar you have installed. Not sure about par2 bit I think that's old as well. You may well find compiling the latest version from source gives you better results (might need some backporting to get things working properly). Whilst WhoCares? does charge for his add-ons he works hard to make his add-ons work well, often using newer versions of packages that are newer than what can be found in the apt-get repository for the Debian distro running on the NAS. In fact for legacy OSes he has to run newer packages than what are in the distro or do some backporting or more likely a bit of both. All this work takes time.
