[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#517741: bzip2 compressed files cannot be edited

[Mikael Hirki]

Package: mc
Version: 2:4.6.2~git20080311-4

Hello,

mc displays an error message "Error reading from pipe: lzma -cd test.bz2
2>&1" when trying to edit a bzip2 compressed file.

Steps to reproduce:
$ echo test >test
$ bzip2 test
$ mc
Trying to edit the file test.bz2 produces the earlier error message.

This is probably caused by this little mistake in
05_add_lzma_support.patch which is included in the Debian patches.

The extension for lzma should be .lzma not .bz2.
