In as far as I know, mc is now finally on autosync with Debian again, so the reason xenial still ships 4.8.13 is that up until now it's the version we have in unstable. I've seen Dmitry uploading 4.8.15 to experimental, but I'm not quite sure why the transition from experimental to unstable has been blocked.
I think the most productive thing that can be done to fix this bug is to get in touch with Debian maintainers to see why the transitions are currently blocked for this package... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1525723 Title: Please update to 4.8.15 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mc/+bug/1525723/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
