Package: mc Version: 3:4.8.18-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
if Vim is called as the external editor on a file in a directory mounted via MC's sh:// capability, it appears to be writable and reflects all changes — until MC is ended. No changes are written to the actual file on the remote machine. All changes are silently lost as there are no error messages or warnings. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-0.bpo.2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mc depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.43.4-2 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libgpm2 1.20.4-6.2+b1 ii libslang2 2.3.1-5 ii libssh2-1 1.7.0-1 ii mc-data 3:4.8.18-1 Versions of packages mc recommends: ii mime-support 3.60 ii perl 5.24.1-3+deb9u4 ii unzip 6.0-21 Versions of packages mc suggests: pn arj <none> ii atril [pdf-viewer] 1.16.1-2+deb9u1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 pn dbview <none> pn djvulibre-bin <none> ii evince [pdf-viewer] 3.22.1-3+deb9u1 ii file 1:5.30-1+deb9u1 ii genisoimage 9:1.1.11-3+b2 ii gv [pdf-viewer] 1:3.7.4-1+b1 ii imagemagick 8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-11+deb9u4 ii imagemagick-6.q16 [imagemagick] 8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-11+deb9u4 pn libaspell-dev <none> pn links | w3m | lynx <none> pn odt2txt <none> ii poppler-utils 0.48.0-2+deb9u2 ii python 2.7.13-2 pn python-boto <none> pn python-tz <none> ii texlive-binaries 2016.20160513.41080.dfsg-2 ii zip 3.0-11+b1 -- no debconf information
