Bug Description
After upgrading Kubuntu 16.04 to 16.10, ark can no longer open RAR files. This worked without problems in 16.04, and is therefore considered a regression.
We need this fix in 16.10 because they can reasonably assume that regressions from one release to another will be fixed.
[Test Case]
1. Install the unrar package on your system.
2. Make or find a .rar file on your system.
3. Open this file with ark either by navigating to it in Dolphin (file manager) or opening it via the command line.
[Regression Potential]
This is very unlikely. This came directly from upstream, and if we notice a regression, we'll likely get it fixed there and have another commit backported as well. Since it just adds the RAR file format in a few places, there isn't much of a risk.
