[dmi at dmi mc]$ LC_TIME=C ls -la /usr/local/share/mc/extfs/rpm*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 8464 Aug 21 19:04 /usr/local/share/mc/extfs/rpm
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1509 Aug 21 19:04 /usr/local/share/mc/extfs/rpms

I just copied extfs/rpm file from mc 4.6.0 to this location and opened 
rpm successfully.

Probably no, since 4.6.0's rpm file works.

I tried only gz/bz/tgz and such, no problems. 
Do you want me to download some debs or similar and test?

I have just located problem file (rpm) and will try to comment out some 
changes. Will keep you informed.
