Expected behaviour

The application should be able to handle CBR files

Actual behaviour

The application crashes when handling RAR data, like CBR files, because it was unable to find a Python module.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open Calibre
  2. Add any CBR file as a book
  3. Open the book
  4. You will get an error while trying to load the book

Research direction

Start with the calibre-7.23.0_1 package and the linked upstream reports, then reproduce the failure by opening a CBR file in Calibre. Trace where the missing unrardll module is expected during RAR handling; the issue is done when CBR files open without the reported missing-module error.
