Description of problem: Midnight Commander does not exit to its current directory anymore after exiting with F10. It jumps back to the directory where it was started. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mc-4.8.19-1.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. start Midnight Commander from command line by hitting 'mc' 2. maneuver to any other directory of the file system 3. hit 'F10' to exit Midnight Commander 4. prove with 'pwd' that you haven't moved anywhere Actual results: you haven't moved anywhere Expected results: you should have moved to the directory where you went with mc
Interestingly this is already broken in version mc-4.8.18-4. Just recompiled mc-4.8.18-4.fc25.src.rpm on a F25 system with all updates and the Midnight Commander can't exit to its current directory. Recompiled mc-4.8.18-2.fc25.src.rpm (is actually the same without mc-tmpdir.patch) and it works again as it should.
I would say this is a dupl
Current version mc-4.8.19-1 works fine without mc-tmpdir.patch. Think, Andrea, you're right.
This is because /usr/libexec/mc/mc-wrapper.sh (and .csh) contains MC_PWD_FILE="${TMPDIR-/tmp}/mc-$MC_USER/mc.pwd.$$" and there is no directory /tmp/mc-$MC_USER anymore. What could be the right fix for this?
This is a duplicate of 1438149, 1433602 and it's not Fedora version or architecture specific. Those bugs were closed improperly without any actual fix.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
I think this has long been fixed.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
