  I'll report this to the MC upstream maintainer Miguel de Icaza for
  inclusion into the regular MC distribution.  He was already so nice to
  include support for *.deb in the main source code upon my request a
  few months ago.  Another milestone in making Debian packaging a de
  facto standard besides RPM. ;-)

Sorry, I should have mentioned that this doesn't happen with upstream source
distribution.:)

In another interesting note, when I replace mc.ext from mc-4 source to
/etc/mc/mc.ext, *.deb and *.tar.gz browsing is lot faster using
mc_3.5.17-1_i386.deb:) If you are wondering why I didn't keep mc-4, I like to
keep this system *.deb format as much as possible, so I'll wait for mc-4.deb:)

BTW I'm using perl_5.003.07-3.deb and libc5_5.4.23-4.deb. Both
mc_3.5.17-1_i386.deb and mc-4.0.3.tar.gz work on this setup.

BTW2 If you have mc.ext that works for you, becareful with installing
mc_3.5.17-1_i386.deb which replaces without giving a choice.

        Cheers,
        David
