Package: unrar-free
Version: 1:0.0.1+cvs20071127-1
Severity: important

unrar-free failed to open the files in 3 rar archives on 3 tested. It looks 
like unrar-free doesn't fail gracefully with unsupported archives. I don't 
know if unrar-free supports these files, but it failed with no explanation:

$ unrar-free test.rar

unrar 0.0.1  Copyright (C) 2004  Ben Asselstine, Jeroen Dekkers


Extracting from /home/chealer/test.rar

Extracting  dpkg                                                      Failed
1 Failed

In the worst case, unrar-free claimed success decompressing a 
password-protected rar archive, even though it didn't decompress any file:

$ unrar-free attachment.rar

unrar 0.0.1  Copyright (C) 2004  Ben Asselstine, Jeroen Dekkers


Extracting from /home/chealer/attachment.rar

All OK

Unless I'm missing something, or unrar-free supports most archives and I 
simply used bad examples, please consider upgrading this report's severity to 
serious.
