-Subject: [PATCH] Ticket #4070: misc/Makefile.am: install mc.lib only once.
-
-Before the change mc.lib was installed twice due to being
-in two _DATA variables:
-
-dist_pkgdata_DATA = \
- mc.lib
-
-pkgdata_DATA = \
- $(dist_pkgdata_DATA) \
- $(PKGDATA_OUT)
-
-This causes occasional install failures when two parallel
-`/usr/bin/install` calls race in installing the file:
-
-$ make -j20 DESTDIR=/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/mc-4.8.24/image install
-...
- /usr/lib/portage/python3.6/ebuild-helpers/xattr/install \
- -c -m 644 mc.lib '/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/mc-4.8.24/image/usr/share/mc'
- /usr/lib/portage/python3.6/ebuild-helpers/xattr/install \
- -c -m 644 mc.lib mc.charsets '/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/mc-4.8.24/image/usr/share/mc'
-...
- /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file
- '/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/mc-4.8.24/image/usr/share/mc/mc.lib': File exists
-
-After the change mc.lib is present only in dist_pkgdata_DATA.

+Subject: [PATCH] mc: replace "perl -w" with "use warnings"
+
+The shebang's max length is usually 128 as defined in
+/usr/include/linux/binfmts.h:
+ #define BINPRM_BUF_SIZE 128
+
+There would be errors when @PERL@ is longer than 128, use
+'/usr/bin/env perl' can fix the problem, but '/usr/bin/env perl -w'
+doesn't work:
+
+/usr/bin/env: perl -w: No such file or directory
+
+So replace "perl -w" with "use warnings" to make it work.
+
+The man2hlp.in already has "use warnings;", so just remove '-w' is OK.

+Rather than depend upon perl-native to fix this, just remove the date from
