Hi all I have now moved to using Debian Sarge 3.1, following problems with Red Hat and derivatives since version 8. Debian is a dramatic improvement for someone who wants to manage a server in console mode rather than using a GUI and wants to use utilities such as mc. Generally I am very impressed by Debian - especially its package management of binaries and sources. However . . .
My current problem is with mc version 4.6.1-pre3 in Debian when viewing a qf file in the sendmail mail queue. These files are of type "Non-ISO extended-ASCII text". When viewing such files I find that part of the line drawing display from the normal screen is inserted into a line of the displayed text, eg: Starting from this screen (/var/log and /var/spool/mqueue): | maillog |4715236|Dec 11 17:14|| qfjBAHdIGb029088| 1264|Dec 11 17:08| | maillog.1.gz | 13893K|Dec 11 04:01|| qfjBB9K9Yo004637| 1198|Dec 11 17:13| | maillog.2.gz | 13264K|Dec 4 04:01|| qfjBBAFb3s031654| 1294|Dec 11 17:11| | maillog.3.gz | 12466K|Nov 27 04:02|| qfjBBF9dbC015110| 1138|Dec 11 17:12| | maillog.4.gz | 11887K|Nov 20 04:01|| qfjBBF9eC0015076| 1776|Dec 11 17:12| and viewing one of the qf files, then the following line of the qf file displays four of the line drawing characters from the above screen, eg: H?P?Return-Path: <.g> | | | | instead of just: H?P?Return-Path: <.g> Any ideas of why this is and if anything can be done about it? It was certainly not a problem with mc under old versions of Red Hat. It looks as if the screen refresh has failed. I can understand that there is a display problem viewing a binary file, but this is still an ASCII file.
