All of my downloads keep failing. I have tried to update Unrar as Sabnzbd keeps telling me that I need a new version. I now keep getting the following message:
Your UNRAR version is 0.00, we recommend version 5.00 or higher.
And today, this started happening:
Error "[Errno 8] Exec format error" while running rar_unpack on
I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff so any help will be greatly appreciated!

Re: Unrar and Errno 8 issues
On what OS?
Re: Unrar and Errno 8 issues
Ah. And how did you install "unrar"? You need "unrar-nonfree" from raspbian.
(this is for debian: https://packages.debian.org/search?sear ... ar-nonfree )
"Exec error" means you downloaded an unrar for another platform/architecture, for example the intel version, which you try to run on your ARM based Raspi. Not good.
After that, check the unrar version you have like this:
Code: Select all
$ unrar | head -3
UNRAR 5.30 beta 2 freeware Copyright (c) 1993-2015 Alexander RoshalRe: Unrar and Errno 8 issues
I get the following:
-bash: /usr/bin/unrar: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
I couldn't find any version of unrar other than the unrar-nonfree version. I can't remember the guide that I used to try an install the nonfree version (I think the guide was outdated) but clearly I either missed a step or I did something incorrectly.
Can you recommend a guide to correctly install this version?

Re: Unrar and Errno 8 issues
This is a Raspbian problem, so probably best to get help on the Raspi / Raspbian forum.
unrar-nonfree on Raspbian is quite hard (google it), because of fundamental problems of Debian people with unrar-nonfree.
On Ubuntu, unrar-nonfree is just available with one command. That's why I left Raspi/Raspbian, and switched to ARM-boards with Armbian (=Ubuntu based)

Re: Unrar and Errno 8 issues
Could be a 32bit / 64bit problem?
