[SOLVED] [Need Help] Cant unrar any files on linux

So im still learning and I'm finding myself getting around. I've made linux my primary os to purge myself of windows for good.

So, I'm running Debian 10
I have downloaded unrar

When i try to unrar any file I have I am met with:

Code:Wolf@computer:~/Desktop$ unrar x Myfile.rar

UNRAR 3.91 freeware Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Alexander Roshal

Myfile.rar is not RAR archive
No files to extract

Wolf@computer:~/Desktop$ unrar e Myfile.rar

UNRAR 3.91 freeware Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Alexander Roshal

Myfile.rar is not RAR archive
No files to extract
So i decided to check the file type for kicks:

Code:Wolf@computer:~/Desktop$ file Myfile.rar
Myfile.rar: RAR archive data, v5The thing is when i take this file on my other copy of linux and just run winrar or the likes in WINE its fine. Or when taking this same file on my other windows box and unrar-ing it there, works fine.

Whenever i try to unrar any file on this debian 10 box the above happens.

What can I do? have i missed something basic?
I'd rather not have to use wine just to rar and unrar.

also, I dont know much about permissions but these are them for the file if it makes a difference?
