I tried packaging this once, but it is quite difficult as it depends on
an Objective C compiler (which is currently broken in Guix due to the
fact that GCC doesn’t find it) and GNUstep (which is not fully packaged
yet).

I agree with Leo to remove the outdated unrar package.  Waiting for the
alternative to be packaged would not be reasonable, given the size of
the task.
