Package: mc Version: 3:4.7.0-1 Severity: important After upgrading mc from version 4.7.0-pre1-3 to the currrent 4.7.0-1 there is no more the old mcedit which was able to handle emacs key bindings. This was an unexpected and completely undocumented change, which severely harms years of trained muscle memory for mc users. This is absolutely annoying!
Comparing the ./edit sub directory of both versions source tree shows that all emacs was obviously completely removed. This crime has obviously been commited by the upstream authors. This is not the good old mcedit anymore! Please revert this in a future release! I have now put mc-4.7.0-pre1-3 on hold, and will stick to it until this issue has been dealt with. Thanks a lot in advance!
