Description:

Package extra/unrar replaces package 'rar' which is installed from the AUR.

This couldn't possibly ever be desired, as its not really a replacement at all.

Additional info:

unrar-3.8.5 replaces rar-3.8.0 from AUR



Steps to reproduce:

-Have neither rar, nor unrar installed.
-Install rar from the PKGBUILD from the AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rar/rar/PKGBUILD)
-Run pacman -Syu
-Pacman asks if you want unrar to replace rar.
This task depends upon

The replaces field was added when the rar package in extra was replaced by unrar (I *think* because of licence issues). This was a long time ago so I guess it could be removed now.

Fixed in unrar 3.8.5-2
