If the problems still exists, please split the issue for RAR and ZIP. RAR related issue is likely to be caused by the fact that broken version rar is included in 11.10-12.10, it will be upgraded in 13.04. The issue can be workarounded by removing rar package and install rar from official site. http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm (Choose RAR 4.20 for Linux or RAR 4.20 for Linux x64)
