Did you try adding the following line that sources a wrapper when you invoke mc to your .bashrc or other place where it can be sourced? This bugzilla issue contains different ways of how to do this.

alias mc='source /usr/share/mc/mc-wrapper.sh'


Bugzilla discussion hints that something is changed in a way the 
/etc/profile.d scripts are sourced. Check if the shell from which you 
invoke mc is actually bash (not ash or something).

The simplest way of checking if you have the wrapper set up is to issue 
command "alias" from the terminal emulator from which you try to invoke 
mc. Its output should have the line mentioned above.

Best regards,
