Thanks. Using '%f' is recommended, tho'.
It enables you to view contents on <F3>, but it's not what Lindsay asked
about. That is done by /usr/local/lib/mc/extfs/deb -- it's a Perl script
and I can't see anything wrong with it (I don't know much about Perl tho'.)
I guess either *.deb format has changed since it was written or the problem
is with Perl.
FWIW I've perl-5.004-2 here, and *.deb browser doesn't work for me.
Dimitri.
