profiles: package.mask dev-perl/Archive-Rar due to bug #483888

Upstream are not "Dead" as such, the maintainer has been seen as
recently as last December. But no releases or RT action in 8 years
is not positive.

Will try hailing author and see if anything is likely to change here
or wether we should just cut our losses.
