Tells me that the "RAR" format isn't supported. CBZ files are opened correctly though.

Still does not work on 3.18.0 :(

It needs unrar installed. I saw that same error message when trying to open a CBR file just now, and installing unrar fixes it.

Basically, this is a bad error message, not a bug per se.

Bug 720742 has a patch to make the RAR support builtin.
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2017-03-25 16:57:51 UTC 
RAR support is now builtin!
