[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#527104: mc: Doesn't saves configuration

[Witold Baryluk]

Subject: mc: Doesn't saves configuration
Package: mc
Version: 2:4.6.2-2
Severity: normal

Every time i launch mc it have default options. Even if I will change them
(in mc or in mcedit), ie. change to use internal editor, or change sort
order or change tab width in mcedit, and save this config. After restart
it's back to normal. Also last position in edited files are lost.

This is strange because on "root" account it works. Additioanally
mc/mcedit shows that mc/ini was saved correctly.

Actually there is no ~/.mc/ directory! My filesystems are encrypted (luks+LVM+ext4),
but simple "mkdir ~/.mc" just works.

On other my systems (with testing or stable) everything works as expected.

Mayby ext4 problem? (/root is on / which is ext3, /home is ext4)

/dev/mapper/sredniczarny-root on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=1,commit=360)
/dev/mapper/sredniczarny-home on /home type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_xattr,acl,commit=360)
