@mladen.pejakovic why is this package tagged as nonfree? It is in Debian main so it is in PureOS main as well and it only depends on libc6.

You are right, it's free. Explanation:

cat /usr/share/doc/unace/README.Debian:

unace for Debian

This is an old version of unace that has been relicensed to GPL. New
versions may get relicensed as well but upstream does not promise to
do so for now.

Debian packages old version.
