    can't open rar files

    tryed to add back ports and "sudo apt-get rar"

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Package rar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source

    W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
    E: Package rar has no installation candidate

    tryed valami commander and of course ark with no success.
    i think back ports were unavailable or something.
    Rar is not includet in my Adept list, only unrar.
    If some one can advice me with orginal rar packet i tryed make install should i make something else too? Also some quick way would be nice. I need to open multi part rar.

    I think unrar-nonfree will do that.

    By the way, my /etc/apt/sources.list uses the line
    "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ breezy-backports main restricted universe multiverse"
    change the "us" to your country code and try it.

      post the output of
      Code:
      cat /etc/apt/sources.list
      . Make sure the multiverse repository is uncommented (it doesn't have a # at the beginning of the lines starting with "deb" or "deb-src").

      If it is, simply
      Code:
      sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sorces.list
      and scroll down to the multiverse repository part, and remove the #.

      Then
      Code:
      sudo apt-get update
      and
      Code:
      sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree
