Running

GCONV_PATH=/usr/lib32/gconv   rar   whatever-arguments

solves the problem.
But now I wonder why GCONV_PATH is not set up automatically to the
correct value (i.e., to "/usr/lib32/gconv" instead of
"/usr/lib/gconv") for 32-bit programs.
Should not 32-bit subsystem take care of the variable GCONV_PATH ?
Does that mean a bug in the package libc6-i386 ?

Thanks,
