mc (Midnight Commander): View (F3) does not work on a .deb file?



Trying to View (F3) a deb file from within mc (Midnight Commander) gives me a 
red Error box with the message: `Empty output from child filter'

It seems to me that the problem is my respective lines in ~/.mc/bindings:

[13:14:57 tmp]$ grep -A4 '# deb' ~/.mc/bindings 
# deb
regex/\.deb$
        Open=%cd %p#deb
        View=%view{ascii} ar p %f control.tar.gz | tar xzO control ; echo "" ; 
echo "Filelist:" ; ar p %f data.tar.gz | tar tzv

[13:15:04 tmp]$ 


Do other get this Error? What are the correct lines?
