I had isntalled dvd:rip and trying to finish setup, but while checking dependencies I found out that missed rar, and it's necessary to install old version (min 2.71 and max 2.99).
By default I could install only 4.0 version through Software center(or Synaptic).



Could somebody help me to find and install rar version 2.xx ?
thanks in advance.

If you go through the documentation on the dvd::rip site you'll be able to find the package there itself and instructions as well.



SOURCE:




1.3.4 rar (for vobsub compression):



Some special notes about the rar program. MPlayer supports vobsub
files compressed with rar, but you need a 2.x version, 3.x and higher
doesn't work. You can get a 2.x version locally from here:



http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/contrib/rarlnx271.sfx.bin



I suggest to install the binary to e.g. /usr/local/bin. Then configure
this path using the Preferences dialog.




EDIT:




  1. First you need to open terminal and copy the file from its location to /usr/local/bin.

  2. Then make the file executable

  3. Run the file.



Example : (if the file got downloaded in my Downloads directory)



cp ~/Downloads/rarlnx271.sfx.bin /usr/local/bin/      #copies the file 
cd /usr/local/bin/ #changes working directory
chmod +x rarlnx271.sfx.bin #makes file executable
./rarlnx271.sfx.bin #runs the file
