F20 x86_64 - Multiple problems with Ark tool

I've already submitted a bug report on a missing dependency.
Apparently Ark was rewritten in the last update to depend on
a unar (not unrar) package, which I had to install manually
before Ark would run.

Since then I've noticed that Ark fails to display the CRC of
many files in an archive correctly - many display as '0', but
7zip on a Win7 PC shows all correct CRC values.

Also, more critically, many extraction operations for .rar
and for .zip archives fail without notification, creating a
new directory but extracting nothing to it.  Again, 7zip on
a Win7 PC successfully extracts the contents of the archives.

Less critically, Ark sometimes successfully extracts the
content of an archive into a newly created directory even
when not told to create an output directory.

These are all problems not encountered prior to the last
update.

I'll try to submit a bug report in the next day or so.
