Re: Cannot install Midnight Commander

Did you ever get a solution? Which firmware are you using? 

 

I had MC installed for many years up until firmware 4.2.26. I changed my RAID configuration yesterday and upgraded to 4.2.27 and now I cannot install MC, giving me the same exact error it is giving you.

Re: Cannot install Midnight Commander

OK, I just figured this out. 

 

You need to have the correct depositories in your sources.list file. 

 

Go and edit the /etc/apt/sources.list by saying: 

 

vi /etc/apt/sources.list 

 

and uncomment "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main"

 

and then do the below: 

apt-get update

apt-get install -f
apt-get install mc

 

that should take care of it.
