I know, and this is what I have to do on all of my systems but if  there
is an upgrade of "mc"  it  will  be  removed.  However,  "mc"  could  be
improved, because if you install a private

    ~/.mc/cedit/Syntax
    ~/.mc/cedit/procmail.syntax

the original Syntax files from

    /usr/share/mc/syntax

will not more used.  So, users of "mc" can not  have  there  own  syntax
files without lossing the default syntax definitions and  they  have  to
copy the whole default directory to there private one.

As I have written in my bugreport,  it  could  be  includes  IF  another
(security) bug will be solved.

Thie Bug is realy annoying and if "normal" users (no me) wil hit it,  it
is more then annoying.  I use scp in an  automated  way  to  update  280
Servers and workstations with such missing files  and  other  bugsolving
which can not solved by "Debian".

I have only i386/arm/mips available and it works here too.
Since the bugreporter has amd64 maybe it is only amd64 related.

OK, this would be perfect.

Currently I have no spare time (-> <http://www.tdwave.net/>) to work  on
another "mc" stuff but my own server is up and running and I will try to
get things updated.  You can find my Debian stuff here:

    <http://devel.debian.tamay-dogan.net/>

and for "Midnight Commander" you follow "Miscelaneous Stuff -> mc"

Note:   Most of my packages where build for "Sarge" and I had not
        realy used Etch but now with Lenny I have to  update  the
        whole thing because there are many users who asked...

The other Debian stuff is here: <http://www.debian.tamay-dogan.net/>

Hey, my whole enterprise is "Debian Powered" with over 280 machines...

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
