Running as root is OK. Searching the debian BTS turned up a couple of other bugs which is probably related: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=246288 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=245029 I wasn't sure if I should file a bug on libc6 or mc, but since 'mc' has worked fine for a very long time until today, I figured that would be the most appropriate package to report a problem for. If that's wrong, I'm sorry - perhaps whoever reads this report can re-file it to the proper place. Also, the workaround mentioned in one of the other related bugs (changing "group: compat" to "group: files nis" in /etc/nsswitch.conf) seems to have fixed the issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=no_NO.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages mc depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpmg1 1.19.6-20 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii slang1 1.4.9dbs-8 The S-Lang programming library - r -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
