Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 13
mc vfs does not work with RPMs [solution included]
Last modified: 2013-02-10 04:39:02 EST
Got this from the mc list: change rpm -qlvp $1 | sed -e 's/^\(..........\)[-t] /\1 1 /' to rpm -qlvp $1 | sed -e 's/^\(..........\)/\1 1 /' in /usr/lib/mc/extfs/rpm solves the problem.

Will be fixed in next release. As a workaround, you can update to mc 4.1.36, which includes this fix.

*** Bug 13 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Something broke mc's coolest feature (according to the package description) i.e. the ability to peek into rpm files. When you cd into an rpm file on RedHat Linux 5.2 you cannot see the files in it only HEADER, INSTALL, UPGRADE and INFO. It used to work on older versions of RedHat Linux (5.1, 5.0) with the same mc version (4.1.35). The line that doesn't work any more in /usr/lib/mc/extfs/rpm looks like: rpm -qlvp $1 | sed -e 's/^\(..........\)[-t] /\1 1 /' Removing [-t] from the above line corrects the problem, but the same line used to work in earlier versions so the bug is somwhere else. Maybe the output of rpm has changed (seems not to be the case), or maybe sed has changed (this can be the real reason, but I'm not sure).
*** Bug 13 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** On the mc that ships with RH 5.2 for i386 when one presses enter on an rpm the contents of the RPM are not properly shown. Only the ../, /INFO, HEADER, INSTALL and UPGRADE files show up. None of the actual files installed by the rpm show up. I have actually fixed this bug by editing the file /usr/lib/mc/extfs/rpm as folows # diff /usr/lib/mc/extfs/rpm /usr/lib/mc/extfs/rpm~ 100c100 < rpm -qlvp $1 | sed -e 's/^\(..........\)/\1 1 /' --- > rpm -qlvp $1 | sed -e 's/^\(..........\)[-t] /\1 1 /' # It now works properly. I do not know whether I should send this fix as a patch to bugzilla. Would appreciate any advice. prabhu
