Hello,

I can confirm this bug as I tried to convert some comic scan  from rar to epub this morning.
Here is how I fixed it: I downloaded tar.bz package from http://sourceforge.net/projects/calibre/files/ (Of course you need to choose i686 or x86_64 depending on your OS) then extract the file libunrar.so located in the archive lib folder and copy it to your /usr/lib/ folder.
It is now working fine, but I ran into another error message because Calibre doesn't seem to recognize   comic archive unless your rename your .rar archive to .cbr (I assume that the same is needed for .zip to .cbz).
Once done, convert to epub worked flawlessly, and  my Sony eReader could open it fine.

I hope it will helpfull :)
