I can unrar, but I can't rar.

I have the unrar package installed, and it works just fine, but I can't rar.

There doesn't seem to be a rar package in the repositories:

[michael@archimedes ~]$ sudo pacman -Sy rar
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 kdemod is up to date
error: 'rar': not found in sync db

I've already looked through the forums, and from what I can tell by reading some old threads there used to be a rar package.

I'm probably just overlooking something simple. Help!

It's a 32-bit binary, and Arch's x86_64 is not multilib, so you'll need a 32-bit chroot.

But I'm using the i686 version.

I believe we got rid of rar because of license issues. Check the AUR - it might be in there now

Here is rar. The AUR's search facility is currently broken.

Huh? Are you sure it is not just that "rar" matches and package with "library" in the description?

It's not automatically sorting by name, and committing the twin sin of *looking* like it is sorting by name
