Thanks for the tip, but when I tried to install it with "dpkg
--install <package_name>", it returned the following error msgs:

(Reading database ... 37263 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking unrar (from unrar_3.5.4-1_powerpc.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of unrar:
unrar depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1); however:
 Version of libc6 on system is 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3.
unrar depends on libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.2); however:
 Version of libgcc1 on system is 1:3.4.3-13.
unrar depends on libstdc++6 (>= 4.0.2-4); however:
 Package libstdc++6 is not installed.

So I tried to upgrade / install libc6, libgcc1 and libstdc++6, only to
find that I'm missing a lot of dependencies which are required for
those three. I started to wonder whether my kernel is out-of-date
(it's 2.6.8), if I upgrade the 2.6.16.14 kernel for PPC listed here:

http://www.ppckernel.org/kernel.php?id=74

Will it solve the lack of libraries problem? (Debian on iBook G3, OS X
was deleted.)

Thanks in advance.
