Bug#837917: ark doesn't open rar files

[gabriel <descartavel1@gmail.com>]

Package: ark
Version: 4:16.04.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #837917

Dear Maintainer,

just want to add that this may be more widespread than ark. I get the
same failure on xarchiever.

i have all rar packages installed. tried using galternative to set rar
to either free and non-free to no avail.
