Description Michel Lind 2026-07-03 12:15:02 UTC 
We strip RAR support completely from this package, as the compression code can't be legally shipped. However, if we can unentangle the decompression codepaths, it might be useful to keep that support enabled.

Reproducible: Always

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
