Package: rar
Version: 3.30-2
Severity: wishlist

When "rar e" fails to write to or create an output file it
does not give the reason.  It simply outputs "Cannot create"
or "Error writing"  without telling you, for example, if you
have no disk space or a permissions issue.

I had to run it through strace to see the error code from write(2).
Just a minor issue, clearly, but annoying none the less.
