I've been sent a .rar file that I need to open. Neither ark nor
archive-manager will open it, even if I rename it to .zip. Does anyone know
a package that can handle this, or must I ask for it to be sent differently?

Hello,

You need to install the unrar package from livna or other repository.

http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/9/i386/unrar-3.7.8-1.lvn8.i386.rpm

After you install it, Ark and Archive Manager will be able to handle
rar archives.

I don't think Fedora supports rar because of licensing/patent issues, but
you can get packages from other repositories, for example
http://freshrpms.net/ has an unrar package available.

Thanks, all of you. Yes, it's unpacked perfectly after installing unrar.
