He was already so nice to include support for *.deb in the main source code upon my request a few months ago. Another milestone in making Debian packaging a de facto standard besides RPM. ;-) Cheers, P. *8^)
Sorry, I should have mentioned that this doesn't happen with upstream source distribution.:) In another interesting note, when I replace mc.ext from mc-4 source to /etc/mc/mc.ext, *.deb and *.tar.gz browsing is lot faster using mc_3.5.17-1_i386.deb:) If you are wondering why I didn't keep mc-4, I like to keep this system *.deb format as much as possible, so I'll wait for mc-4.deb:) BTW I'm using perl_5.003.07-3.deb and libc5_5.4.23-4.deb. Both mc_3.5.17-1_i386.deb and mc-4.0.3.tar.gz work on this setup. BTW2 If you have mc.ext that works for you, becareful with installing mc_3.5.17-1_i386.deb which replaces without giving a choice.
