Comment 1 for bug 149236

Note that without this dependency, hellanzb will not start up. This is not simply a matter of unraring convenience. So hellanzb as it is must depend on unrar to function at all. However, I see that hellanzb is in universe and unrar is in multiverse; perhaps this is the reason that unrar is not depended upon.

Attached, please find a patch that allows hellanzb to function without unrar installed. If SKIP_UNRAR is set to True, as it is by default in the Ubuntu-distributed hellanzb.conf, the unrar check is skipped since it will never be needed.
