Trying to open a cbr-Archive based on rar v5 leads to "Der Dateityp RAR-Archiv (application/vnd.rar) wird nicht unterstützt."
CBR-Files based on other rar-Types, e.g. rarv4 works fine.

"Expired" is a bad change! With Ubuntu 18.04 I could read any CBR file with Evince. Just installed Ubuntu 20.04 and Evince cannot do it any more!
I have a workaroud, but is this necessary to install Kubuntu's okular? These are quite some packages!
Does "expired" mean, I will never be able to read some CBR files with evince?

Thanks, siggi2

This is what I get using the terminal:

$ evince TheCartoons.cbr
Killed
$

And between the command and the final "Killed" are many, many minutes. During that time, evince shows an empty page, just "loading, loading, loading, ...". Typical suicide ;-)
It gets me that what works so well in 18.04 is such a mess in 20.04 :-(
