Well, you have  a couple of choices.
1.  You could create a softlink to "unrar-free" (if that's the binary's name).
in the directory where unrar-free is located do this:
ln -s unrar-free unrar

2.  You could install the "non-free" version that opens all the versions of 
rar.
apt-get install unrar
or 
apt-get install unrar-nonfree
(you may need to enable the universe and restricted areas of the repositories 
to see either of these).
