A check for pending updates again lists mc.scm which fails as described above.
I was never able to download this update, however trying again a day later the update is no longer available. Is the md5 mentioned in reply #90 the current release?
On reviewing the results to date, the report of successfully browsing archives (reply #81) is inaccurate. They were not done in the usual minimal testing environment (reply #77), but in another TC project which loaded rox-filer.tcz. This invalidated the archive browsing results.
Using the minimal testing environment plus perl5.tcz and rox-filer.tcz the results reported in reply #81 are obtained.
Using the minimal testing environment plus perl5.scm produces the following.
Tested only browsing of test archives by <Enter> key.
Success:
7z, iso, rar, tar.bz2, tar.gz, tar.xz
Fail:
bz2, gz, zip
No error messages are obtained.
It seems likely that one or more deps are still required in mc.scm that are provided by ROX for bz2 and gz. Possibly something is also awry with mc/perl5 SCMs for zip.
