Thanks for that hint!

app-arch/unar currently seems to be the only free choice for kde-apps/
kdeutils-meta-19.08.3[rar]:
        rar? ( || (
                app-arch/rar
                app-arch/unrar
                app-arch/unar
        ) )

Does anyone know, does kde-apps/ark (for which kdeutils-meta depends on the 
rar implementations) also support app-arch/libarchive for RAR files?  Is any 
useflag needed to get RAR support in libarchive?

If kde-apps/ark does support unpacking RAR files with app-arch/libarchive, 
could it please be added to that dependency list?  Then app-arch/unar could be 
removed from my system.
