Package: mc Version: 2:4.6.2~git20080311-2 Severity: important
When trying to connect to a remote Solaris host via 'cd /#sh:remotehost/' A directory listing cannot be obtained because fish was modified to use the 'Q' option to ls in order to quote filenames in the output of ls. The Q option is not valid for versions of ls on Solaris, HP-UX and probably other unix variants. Therefore this method of obtaining a directory list is not portable, and makes this feature of MC unusable when trying to connect to various types of unix systems. See vfs/fish.c at about lines 369-385. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers intrepid-updates APT policy: (500, 'intrepid-updates'), (500, 'intrepid-security'), (500, 'intrepid') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-9-generic (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mc depends on: ii libc6 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.18.2-0ubuntu2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpm2 1.20.4-2ubuntu1 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libslang2 2.1.3-3ubuntu1 The S-Lang programming library - r -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
