Dear Maintainer,
I installed recent versoin of 7zip-rar:
```
root@1405c9db15a3:~# apt policy 7zip-rar
7zip-rar:
Installed: 25.01+ds-3
Candidate: 25.01+ds-3
Version table:
*** 25.01+ds-3 500
500 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/non-free amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
root@1405c9db15a3:~#
```
And then I downloaded sample rar file from page
https://getsamplefiles.com/sample-archive-files/rar.
I mean this file:
https://getsamplefiles.com/download/rar/sample-5.rar
And 7z (that uses plugin 7zip-rar when we speak about rar archives) has
problems with it:
```
root@1405c9db15a3:~# 7z t sample-5.rar

Archive sample-5.rar is correct. It is possible to prove it with original unrar:
```
root@1405c9db15a3:~# apt policy unrar
unrar:

So, there is some problem in 7zip-rar package, I think.
