Hi,
I tried the reinstallation of all packages using yum and it did'nt change anything - the problem with the menu is already there.
A Downgrade of some packages is not an option.
1) Reinstalling using only the 4 packages:
# yum reinstall mc slang libpng pcre

Subject: [mc] Midnight Commander Menu not working after Upgrade to AIX 7200-05-01-2038
Hi,
had a problem in 2020 and in 2021 after updating sudo too.
first time it helped to update mc by:
rpm -Uvh mc-4.8.23-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm gettext-0.19.8.1-5.aix6.1.ppc.rpm glib2-2.56.1-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm libgcc-6.3.0-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm slang-2.3.1a-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm ncurses-6.1-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm libunistring-0.9.9-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm libxml2-2.9.9-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm libffi-3.2.1-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm libpng-1.6.27-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm libstdcplusplus-6.3.0-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm xz-libs-5.2.3-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm zlib-1.2.11-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm pcre-8.33-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
and second time it was enough to use:
rpm -Uvh mc-4.8.23-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm slang-2.3.1a-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm pcre-8.33-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm libpng-1.6.27-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
you will have to adjust the aix-versions to yours.

Subject: [mc] Midnight Commander Menu not working after Upgrade to AIX 7200-05-01-2038
Hi,
after Upgrading most machines to AIX 7200-05-01-2038 the midnight commander menu is not working anymore by using the arrow keys.
If I press F9 the cursor goes to "Left" - is highlighting it and then it is stuck.
My workaround at the moment is using the mouse for navigating through the menus.
I tried different terminals (xterm, mate-terminal, rxvt) with different Terminal variables (xterm-color, xterm, vt220).
Also tried it from a Windows machine using putty.
But everytime the same behaviour.
Any idea? Can anybody reproduce that?
AIX: 7200-05-01-2038
MC: mc-4.8.23-2.ppc
The complete Toolbox is up2date.
Thanks
