Hi Frank,

looks ok here with MC on debian/stable.

Hhmm, looks like it is looking for doc.sh in /tmp ???

Please check also permissions of any MC-related files in your /home/. In the 
past I once ran into a problem, when starting MC as root after a "su -". Then 
the MC-file in my /home became root permissions and could not br read as 
normal user again. Just an idea.....

And you can also try, to purge MC and reinstall (aptitude purge mc && aptitude 
install mc).

If done so, please recheck, if the issue is still there.

Hope this helps.

Best

Hans
