mc.tcz.dep on x86_64 now depends on aterm2.tcz which is silly because you might not be using that terminal emulator, or running a terminal without X. The changelog shows "remove aterm dep" in the previous version so maybe this was a mistake? MC works without aterm2.tcz installed.
The install script also gives these errors:
chown: /home/cnk/.local/bin/mc-fix.sh: Not a directory
chmod: /home/cnk/.local/bin/mc-fix.sh: Not a directory
It seems the tce.installed script is intended to copy "/usr/local/share/mc/files/mc-fix.sh" into directory "/home/$USER/.local/bin", however if "/home/$USER/.local/bin" doesn't exist it uses "bin" as the name of the destination file:
$ ls -lh /home/cnk/.local/
total 4K
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1000 50 Dec 13 12:36 bin
drwx--S--- 5 cnk 1000 120 Dec 13 2025 share/
I'm not sure how to contact the maintainer aus9 short of making an account on linuxquestions.org.
