What glibc package do you have installed? /var/db/pkg/sys-libs says only glibc-2.2.5-r3 looks like the rar sfx archive is incompatible with our glibc. Bummer! I found that the new rar beta, rarlinux-3.0.b5.tar.gz is, well, a gzip file and therefore can be extracted. The rar and unrar binaries in the archive also run under the current glibc, so Perhaps updated the emerge to that version is a good idea? I cannot reproduce this. emerge rar success on both glibc-2.2.5-r2 and -r3 for me. It also works for Seemant. I will however create a new ebuild for 3.0 beta 5 and mask it. Also, I noticed from your screen dump that you have 53 files in /etc/ needing updating. You might find running etc-update fixes the problem, but that doesn't seem related to the kind of error messages you're seeing. rar-3.0_beta5 added to portage and masked. Its odd that it worked for you, but whatever. ;) I didn't know there was an etc-update command, thanks for the tip, doing all the config files by hand is a PITA. Anyway, the solution sounds good.
