I think I know what this problem is. It's probably related to {v,}fat
partitions. In that case, the solution would be very easy.
In order to reproduce your results I first patched my mc.ext file to do
the .deb things again and started mc. I `entered' on automake_1.0-4.deb
and it works fine for me.
But look what happens when I do this:
# chmod +x automake_1.0-4.deb
Now, `entering' the .deb gives output on the command line:
# ./automake_1.0-4.deb
./automake_1.0-4.deb: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `!<arch>'
./automake_1.0-4.deb: line 1: `!<arch>'
Figure how come that happens..
Look at the permissions on the files on your {v,}fat partition; I bet
they're all executable.. Note that the permissions don't miraculously
change when you move or copy files to an ext2 partition.
I have two questions for the more knowledgable WRT mc internals:
$ locate mc.ext
/etc/mc.ext
/etc/mc/mc.ext
/etc/mc/mc.ext.dpkg-old
/usr/lib/mc/mc.ext
/usr/lib/mc/mc.ext.dpkg-old
The latter two are symlinks to their counterparts in /etc/mc/ .
I can understand the case for mc.ext , but why is mc.ext.dpkg-old
also symlinked to /usr/lib/ ?
Why is there an mc.ext in /etc/ besides the one in /etc/mc/ ?
Why does (amongst other keys) <F3> not work in an xterm{-color} ?
My mc is:
$ dpkg -l mc
