* ORIGINAL QUESTION *
**************************************************/
Hi,
As the title states my sabnzb gives the error: “No UNRAR program found, unpacking RAR files is not possible”. I don’t know how to fix this. (sabnzb works fine except for this).
I hope these will help solving the problem.
WDMyCloud:~# apt-get install unrar
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Package unrar 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
E: Package ‘unrar’ has no installation candidate
WDMyCloud:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
WDMyCloud:~# aptitude install unrar
No candidate version found for unrar
No candidate version found for unrar
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 78 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
WDMyCloud:/usr/bin# apt-cache policy unrar
unrar:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Version table:
In /usr/bin is an “unzip” folder, but no “unrar”.
Does someone know how I can provide a unrar application for sabnzb?
Thanks

Backup your sources.list file
cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
Add a source to the sources.list
echo deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Add another source
echo deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Update your package lists
apt-get update
Install the required programs…Type y when asked if you would like to proceed with the installation and hit enter
apt-get install par2 unrar
And finally let’s revert the changes made to sources list
mv -f /etc/apt/sources.list.bak /etc/apt/sources.list
