OK, i did this and now it now works :-) Perfectly, then Yury, know how to solv it for the future. Maybe we can get it into Squeeze even if it is frozen? thank you Nothing to thanks, because mc is a tool I use daily and very heavy...

Hi! On Mon, 2010-08-09 at 11:03 +0200, Michelle Konzack wrote: Here too... Does quoting depend on the shell used? Good point, I have no idea. I have bash, OP has dash. I can't test dash though, as I am not using Debian anyways :-) What I can observe in the source code of do_edit_at_line fn = vfs_canon_and_translate (filename); do_execute (command, fn, EXECUTE_INTERNAL); is that it does not appear to do any quoting explicitly. However, it launches the process with the arguments as it has, so the process knows that it's a file name with a space in between. Try it out by circumventing sensible-editor: EDITOR=mcedit mc. I guess it's an issue with /usr/bin/mcedit-debian that we ship. It probably should have $@ instead of just $...@. I'm not a big fan of this solution, but it appears that sensbile-editor only expects one argument (that is a file name), so we can live with it. Ideas? Best, -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.

Ideas? Hmmm, I am wondering WHY we have mcedit-debian, if there is a symlink lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2 19. Apr 2009 /usr/bin/mcedit - mc which works fine without the need for mcedit-debian. Even mcedit-debian is only calling mcedit $@ and I am puzzeling why. Maybe Debian should drop the thing with mcedit-debian?

It was added by Adam Byrtek al...@debian.org sometime at the beginning of the century (even before the package source got into a source control system) and until now, nobody run into this bug. My guess is that maybe the alternatives system at that time didn't accept symlinks as valid editors, so he decided to create a wrapper instead to work around this problem. Whether it's true or not and if it is still needed or not I have no clue. This would be a subject of an investigation on its own... -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.

OK, can you try following: Open the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/mc.prostinst end change any references from mcedit-debian to mcedit and then run dpkg-reconfigure mc then after this, retry the issue with Midnight Commander and editing files and report it back. It seems, that mcedit-debian should be removed since it is useless.
