but i had already checked here : http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/mc/filelist and compared to 
http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386/mc/filelist before saying some files were missing in the last release.

 >>/home/user/.mc/cedit/Syntax
> this file is definitivly not from mc but created by hand from you
The files ~/.mc/cedit/Syntax appearing in users home directory seems to be copies of /usr/share/mc/syntax/Syntax.
As this file isn't present in every users home, I think it might be created the first time one user run mcedit.

the line 120 of my file ~/.mc/cedit/Syntax is : "include debian-sources-list.syntax"
it's why, as the file /usr/share/mc/syntax/debian-sources-list.syntax isn't in the last release, this causes an error.

I have found a workaround : I copied the missing syntax files from another box running debian etch.
