[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#563797: mc: File color highlighting failed

[Nate Bargmann]

Package: mc
Version: 3:4.7.0-1
Severity: important


File color highlighting no longer works in the most recent mc.  The docs
are mum on the matter even though a new file,
/usr/share/mc/syntax/filehighlight.syntax now exists.  All files and 
directories are the same color which makes usability more difficult.
