[SOLVED] issue with unrar

hello All,
I have installed unrar using pacman, but strange that now system tells me 'No such file or directory'.

Here hat I tried:

[rafal@archlinux bin]$ unrar
bash: /usr/local/bin/unrar: No such file or directory
[rafal@archlinux bin]$ find /usr -name 'unrar'
/usr/bin/unrar
find: '/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d': Permission denied
/usr/share/licenses/unrar
/usr/local/bin/unrar
[rafal@archlinux bin]$ ls -la
total 784
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root   4096 Jun 16 20:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root   4096 Jun 14 19:08 ..
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 511796 Jun 16 20:29 rar
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 281648 Jun 16 20:29 unrar

what have I done wrongly ?
I can see the file in the directory. I also tried to execute it with root, but the same result

Re: [SOLVED] issue with unrar

Why do you have a version installed in /usr/local/bin? Did you make install one?

Re: [SOLVED] issue with unrar

ok...now I recall I probably installed or tried to install few weeks before old trial of rar (probably rarlinux-x64-5.0.0.tar.gz).
that machine I do not use that often.

is it causing conflicts ?

now I removed unrar by running "pacman -R unrar', but even though unrar file sill exists I cannot use the command

what shall I do ?
how to fi it?

Re: [SOLVED] issue with unrar

That removed the package unrar magnaged by pacman why do you think that would remove /usr/local/bin/unrar that you manually installed without the use of pacman?

I do not think so and thats not the issue I reported.
Whether I use the package from pacman or not - the fact is that system cannot see the files ('No such file or directory'). So the question is : how do I solve it?

Re: [SOLVED] issue with unrar

/usr/local/bin overrides /usr/bin
So when you type unrar, system will choose one from /usr/local/bin, which being improperly installed doesn't run. ( probably permission issue)
So first remove unrar from /usr/local/bin or specify full path to use the one installed by pacman.

Re: [SOLVED] issue with unrar

what I did is:
I removed 'rar' and 'unrar' from /usr/local/bin/ (only those 2 files were there).
After this I installed 'unrar' using pacman.

After doing this when I type 'unrar' all works fine.

Re: [SOLVED] issue with unrar

Yes, that was pretty expectable.
Unfortunately you now lost the chance to figure why the other unrar could not be executed.

Edit:
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
