Bug 2373874 was never fixed despite being promptly closed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo su - or login under the root user 2. try to unpack any rar file Actual Results: 7z t test.rar 7-Zip 26.01 (x64) : Copyright (c) 1999-2026 Igor Pavlov : 2026-04-27 64-bit locale=en_US.UTF-8 Threads:16 OPEN_MAX:4096 Scanning the drive for archives: 1 file, 34567890 bytes (33 MiB) Testing archive: test.rar ERROR: test.rar Cannot open the file as archive Can't open as archive: 1 Files: 0 Size: 0 Compressed: 0 Expected Results: RAR archives being extracted or listed. Additional Information: This is a fallout from the patch only Fedora applies. The PR to fix it https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/7zip/pull-request/8 does not fix it and cannot fix it, because it's possible to create symlinks/hardlinks from /usr/bin/7z to other arbitrary locations and 7-zip will fail. As far as I understand, * the .so library path required could be hardcoded * the initial .so relocation patch could be dropped * or there's something else I haven't thought of
If it's only affecting the root account please don't mark this urgent

See 2496816 (that I'm linking) for exploring restoring decompression support for RAR. Since the updates just pushed fix the root path situation but RAR support is explicitly disabled right now (and we can probably relax it to just disabling compression)
