Title:
  [SRU] Ark no longer opens rar files in 16.10

Status in ark package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ark source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Committed
Status in ark source package in Zesty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After upgrading Kubuntu 16.04 to 16.10, ark can no longer open RAR
  files. This worked without problems in 16.04, and is therefore
  considered a regression.

  We need this fix in 16.10 because they can reasonably assume that
  regressions from one release to another will be fixed.

  [Test Case]
   1. Install the unrar package on your system.
   2. Make or find a .rar file on your system.
   3. Open this file with ark either by navigating to it in Dolphin (file manager) or opening it via the command line.

  [Regression Potential]
  This is very unlikely. This came directly from upstream, and if we notice a regression, we'll likely get it fixed there and have another commit backported as well. Since it just adds the RAR file format in a few places, there isn't much of a risk.
