I'm running Fedora 35 and I'd need to extract a rar archive which contains log files (text). When using **unrar**, as a result a huge list of binary files are created: -rw-rw-r--. 1 francesco francesco 94568930677013 Sep 10 09:36 log10.log -rw-rw-r--. 1 francesco francesco 94568938371590 Sep 10 09:36 log11.log -rw-rw-r--. 1 francesco francesco 94568940015859 Sep 10 09:36 log12.log -rw-rw-r--. 1 francesco francesco 94568937104517 Sep 10 09:36 log13.log . . . . . . Much the same result, when extracting from the Desktop (Cinnamon). This problem only happens on this OS (Fedora 35). When using a Windows machine I'm able to extract it. An user of this forum mentioned as workaround to use xextractor. However, I cannot see it available in Fedora default repos. Do you have any advice for that? Edit: I've tried using a Java program to unrar files and I get the following error which might be the explanation: exception.UnsupportedRarV5Exception I've updated the question accordingly
