The bug that caused HellaNZB to crash when unrar isn't installed (no

will by synced into Ubuntu in a matter of days.

dependency. May I close the bug or are there
Depends: par2 (>= 0.4), python (>= 2.3), python-support (>= 0.7.1),
python-twisted-core (>= 2.0), python-twisted-web
Recommends: python-yenc
Suggests: unrar (>= 3.41)
Move unrar from suggests to depends.

unrar is not depe
