Unrar 3.0 for Rpi

On Rpi, a user noted issues with unrar where four downloads all seemed to be "corrupt". Turned out that the version of unrar-free in use was unable to handle the RAR v3.0 format.

IF you discover that you have this issue, then the following should help...

1. Ensure that the following line exists in your /etc/apt/sources.list (and remove any #):

  deb-src http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi

2. Run apt-get update

3. Install

  apt-get build-dep unrar-nonfree
  apt-get source -b unrar-nonfree
  dpkg -i unrar_*_armhf.deb
