Hallo alle miteinander,

when I try to open a *.rpm file with f3 then midnight commander mc-
20090514 and mc-20090621 tell me "libnss3.so: cannot open shared object
file: no such file ...".

Which program searches for the (non existent) libnss3.so file? Is it the
midnight commander itself, or is it an invoked other program? I've seen
this error only with the above versions (and the last 2 weeks I have
made some minor changes in some other programs ...).

Viele Gruesse
Helmut

Install seamonkey. In -current this is in seamonkey-solibs.

Hallo, Martin,

Du meintest am 04.07.09:

I use "mc" on a server. There runs no X. I need no GUI. And no GUI
browser.
Strange.

After installing, "f3" or "enter" for a *.rpm file tells

error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)
error: cannot open Packages database in var/lib/rpm

But that seem to be only warnings - pushing the "enter" key lets the
program continue.

Changing to an older mc version is no real option - there I have to
install the lzma and txz extensions.

The rpm packet is the nasty guy:

ldd $(which rpm2cpio)

Not strange at all. As Martin already said, install seamonkey-solibs.
It was split out of the seamonkey package for exactly this reason.

Thank you - I had searched in "xap", not in "l".
