Package: mc Version: 3:4.8.3-10 Severity: normal If you run mc on a machine where the user has been started with HOME=/ (due to normal /home mount issue), then mc fails to start with:
(mc:7166): Glib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory. This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set. The overwriting error message was: Cannot create /home/wookey/.cache/mc directory (mc:7166): Glib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory. This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set. The overwriting error message was: Cannot create /home/wookey/.local/share/mc directory Failed to run: Cannot create /home/wookey/.config/mc directory Ideally it would manage to start without these config directories, but even if that's not possible I suspect that these glib warnings are indicative of code doing the wrong thing. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages mc depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.42.12-1 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libgpm2 1.20.4-6.1+b2 ii libslang2 2.3.0-2 ii libssh2-1 1.4.3-4 ii mc-data 3:4.8.13-3 Versions of packages mc recommends: ii mime-support 3.58 ii perl 5.20.1-4 ii unzip 6.0-14 Versions of packages mc suggests: pn arj <none> ii bzip2 1.0.6-7+b2 pn dbview <none> pn djvulibre-bin <none> ii epdfview [pdf-viewer] 0.1.8-3 ii evince [pdf-viewer] 3.14.1-1 ii file 1:5.20-2 ii genisoimage 9:1.1.11-3 ii gv [pdf-viewer] 1:3.7.4-1 ii imagemagick 8:6.8.9.9-3 ii links 2.8-2+b3 ii mupdf [pdf-viewer] 1.5-1+b2 pn odt2txt <none> ii poppler-utils 0.26.5-2 ii python 2.7.8-2 ii python-boto 2.34.0-2 ii python-tz 2012c+dfsg-0.1 ii texlive-binaries 2014.20140926.35254-4 ii w3m 0.5.3-19 ii zip 3.0-8 -- Configuration Files: /etc/mc/mc.ext changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
