Details:

unar, application to unpack various archives failes upon extracting an UTF-8
named file, or when extracting to a UTF-8 named folder. The error is:

unar: Uncaught exception NSCharacterConversionException, reason: Can't get
cString from Unicode string.

Version of gnustep-base I've tested are 1.24.3, 1.24.4 and 1.24.5. on Arch
Linux.

I've noticed this only recently. The program did work very well, few months
ago.

I've reported bug to the unar author, he said I need to report the bug here:
