The patch is in use in the Community mc-utf8 package.

this bug report wasnt mean for the mc-utf8 package in community but the mc package in extra. if the developers (tomk & andyrtr) feel they are the same i see no reason in keeping the one in community.

Eliott: can you create a mc directory on the ftp server?

I'll need to rebuild mc for a gpm soname bump so I'll fix this bug at the same time.

The patch Karol posted and another similar patch from Gentoo needs to have slang support added in order to compile. That would add slang has a dependency. I guess they are not the same as the missing patch.

Andreas: Any opinion?

Does anyone know why the mc-4.6.1-utf8.patch.bz2 patch was added in the first place? What bug is it supposed to fix? I haven't found this information on the bug tracker or cvs logs.

The patch used by Debian: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mc/mc_4.6.1-6.diff.gz applies without adding the slang dependency and it does some utf8 related patching. The question is: which one of these patches should be used? And more importantly: do they even fix the same bug as mc-4.6.1-utf8.patch.bz2 ?

Another option would be to remove the patch completely instead of replacing it by another one.
Comment by Greg (dolby) - Sunday, 15 June 2008, 18:30 GMT
IMO either move mc-utf8 from community, or use the mc snapshot from http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/managers/mc/snapshots/ or maybe even both

Check out  FS#7553  also. Chances are for a decent mc package we need patches since its development is not that active for years

Will be fixed when an admin will create the needed directory. The patch, taken from Gentoo, can also be found here: http://dev.archlinux.org/~eric/mc-4.6.1-utf8-r2.patch.bz2

An updated mc-4.6.1-5 is in testing (i686 packages will be available later). Please note that you will also need to update gpm and all packages using it by their version in testing.

Re-opened. Not fixed yet.
