The libunrar license discourages vendors from building in libunrar support in
product distributions. It is a long boring story.

Hi Alex... do you have libunrar
On Debian linux systems (and probably on most/all linux distrubutions
based on Debian) you need to install the "libclamunrar6" package from
the non-free/libs section.
This is _not_ mentioned in the main clamav package as a dependancy,
recommendation or even a suggestion. The strict debian policy rules
seems to dictate that the whole clamav package would otherwise classify
as non-free.
I guess that -as a result of this strict policy- quite a lot of
sysadmins are unaware of the fact that their virusscanner is
running without unrar support.
