CentOS - Jan 2018 - Unrar not extracting archive

I received a rar-archive, probably created on Win10, that I could not extract
with unrar on CentOS 6.

Is it possible that the version of unrar available for CentOS 6 does not support
potentially new archiving algorithms used by some newer archiving program
(don't know which one was used) on Win 10? I was later able to extract the
files using another program on a WinXP computer. Defeat...

CentOS does not provide unrar. You must have it from a third party 
repository and we don't know which version of unrar that is.

You are right, it seems I had installed version 4.0.7 from repoforge. I now
removed it, installed version 5.2.1 locally from rarlab.com and this version is
able to extract the archived files.
