Weird problem this one. I updated to sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201 (from
2.8_p20080602) and everything appears to be just fine. With one exception:
viewing files in Midnight Commander's built-in viewer doesn't work anymore.
Pressing F3 (View) does nothing. Calling `mcview` or `mc -v file` also
does nothing; the application simply exits with no error messages (or any
other messages; just nothing).
Anyone encountered this? I've rebuild mc of course and revdep-rebuild shows
all is OK.
It still works fine for me. I'm using ~amd64 and these versions:
sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201
app-misc/mc-4.6.2_pre1
I didn't do anything special after upgrading glibc.
Does MC use "file" or some similar command to identify what kind of
document it is opening? Perhaps some supporting utility is broken on
your side for some reason.
I've rebuild everything mc uses to no avail. I made a "quickpgk glibc"
before upgrading in hope to revert back if something like this happens,
but I was not aware of this:
emerge --usepkgonly glibc
Calculating dependencies... done!
