So if you use the rar package in AUR,
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rar
, as the maintainer states, rar now does also the job of
unrar, so he made it to conflict with unrar. But lutris
needs unrar, so if you have rar you are in "troubles". Now,
what i suggest is, if it is true that rar can do all unrar
does, and as rar is not a package in the official repos
(also i suppose unrar is opensourced and rar is not), i
suggest to add an alternative in the dependencies for the
unrar, to be able to install lutris only having rar and not
unrar, but when none of the both are installed, install
unrar instead of rar.
Thats all, thanks! |

Also, not only are AUR packages not supported, the "rar" package even provides unrar which means this works fine anyway. Which is good because using a provides is exactly how this is supposed to work. Next time check to make sure there is an actual problem before reporting bugs.
