[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#499714: mc: warning messages while changing directory

[Jens]

Package: mc
Version: 1:4.6.1-6
Severity: important

While changing directories in mc, i get the warning "Cannot change to /etc"
/etc is just an axample, i get this message whereever i want to change to (/var, /home, and so on)

I removed ~/.mc, purged mc and reinstalled it, but without success.
I did a trace, and found this here:

rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0
rt_sigsuspend([])                       = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted)
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
waitpid(19460, [{WIFSTOPPED(s) && WSTOPSIG(s) == SIGSTOP}], WNOHANG|WSTOPPED) = 19460
waitpid(19459, 0xbfd066f0, WNOHANG|WSTOPPED) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [CHLD])
