#52511 assigned defect

mc: subshell not worling with /bin/sh — at Initial Version

Reported by: sierkb@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…

Component: ports Version:

Port: mc

Description

After upgrading from macOS 10.11 to 10.12 and reinstalling MacPorts with all the ports, I run into the following problem:

When trying a

$ sudo mc
Password:

on macOS 10.12.0 (Sierra), mc throws a

common.c: unimplemented subshell type 1
read (subshell_pty...): No such file or directory (2)

Searching for this error, I've stumbled over similar problems/bugs relating mc on FreeBSD:

mc Ticket #3658 (new defect) - Subshell not working with Bourne shell /bin/sh (not bash) and FreeBSD Bug 208391 - misc/mc SUBSHELL not working with /bin/sh

I've never had this problem before on macOS 10.11.x and older, and I guess, something might have changed on 10.12 relating /bin/sh resp. the shell environment. Please fix here on MacPorts with a patch or upstream, so that mc is usable again with subshell on macOS 10.12.x (Sierra).
