Hi,

I use ClamAV on both Debian and openSuSE, and compile it myself, rather
than waiting for the distro to release the latest version.

My recent compilations incorporate "libclamunrar.so.6.1.26" to handle
RAR files. I hope that covers it, as I compile ClamAV for "/opt/clamav"
and don't have any unrar-related '.so' files in any of the usual 'lib'
directories.

P.S. Actually, I compile ClamAV for "/opt/clamav.d/clamav.x.y.z" using
the "--prefix" option on 'configure', copy over the latest CVD files,
and then make "/opt/clamav" be a symbolic link to the one I want to use.
This allows easy switching to another version in case something goes
wrong. (I use this trick for most of the packages I compile locally.)
