In dired-x.el the proprietary program 'unrar' is recommended. Instead
'bsdtar -xf' shall be recommended:
Line 916: '("\\.rar\\'" "unrar x")

I use bsdtar as well, but unrar is much more widespread. And it isn't
true that it's proprietary: there's a free software version of unrar,
you can find it on Ubuntu systems, for example. AFAIK, we don't use
any features that the free version doesn't have.

Yup -- "apt install unrar-free" will install a /usr/bin/unrar that
points to the free unrar.
So I agree that there's nothing to fix here, and I'm closing this bug
report.

Fair enough, but it's confusing that you then
1) tag it "fixed" (rather than notabug,wontfix)
2) mark it "fixed in Emacs 28.1"
when nothing has changed in Emacs.
I think I've noticed this a few other times as well.

I must have hit the wrong button in debbugs-gnu (or there's a bug there)
-- I meant to just close it without tagging anything.

Yes, thank you.
I found it now, just that I could not find it in Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.
