I don't think unrar-free works... I'm trying to unrar a .rar file with multiple parts.

Code:
deb:/home/path/recent_downloads# sudo unrar-free e --password dt.session-01.part1.rar

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


Extracting from /mnt/hd1/share/dt.session-01.part1.rar

All OK

And that's it. I don't see the extraction anywhere... any ideas? I can only do this via command line.

Well, I downlaoded the cli tool from winrar and that works... not sure how to install it though, I just run it from my home dir.

Debian. I installed unrar-free from the repo, ti doesn't unarchive it seems... so I went on winrar.com and got their tool and it works, I just don't know how to integrate it into debian so I can run it anywhere.

Kind of embarrasing but what would be the apt-get install command to get it? apt-get install unrar-nonfree doesn't work. :(

try "aptitude search rar" it should show up. (don't forget to run "apt-get update" after changing your sources.list.

If you're going to search with aptitude you need to update it as well. In fact, it makes more sense to solely use aptitude, just start it like 'aptitude -u' and use / to search in the package list.

According to what I read, OpenSUSE's buildservice can also be used as a repository for software that isn't necessarily built by SUSE developers, but I see your point. I only use OpenSUSE, but I could test-drive some of those buildservice packages in a Debian VM.

Debian's main selling point to me is it's package quality and the cohesive system they produce. So relying on even a few 3rd party repositories potentially kills that and isn't something I'm willing to do except in extreme circumstances. The only non-official repo I have is from http://www.debian-multimedia.org which is maintained by a DD as well so I know the package quality meets the normal Debian standards.
