Common.c: unimplemented subshell type 1
-
After running numerous pkg add commands on pfSense 2.3.5 i386 I was finally able to install Midnight Commander, only to find that it would not run, giving the error
common.c: unimplemented subshell type 1
read (subshell_pty….): No error: 0 (0)Any ideas on what I need to do to get it working?

If you pkg added a load of things it may well have overwritten something required by pfSense.
Why are you trying to install MC though? Just use SCP and some remote file system manager.

MC is the app I use most and am lost without it. It's even included in the base build of FreeNAS. If you are not familiar with it you are not aware of how powerful it is, especially for accessing the filesystem. I have it on my normal pfSense box but it is a pain to install because of all the dependencies… I've just noticed that pfSense contains /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf which has enabled: no set. If I change that to yes can I then run pkg install mc as I would on FreeBSD and automatically install all the dependencies?

There is no reason to access the filesystem on a pfSense installation, even in emergency cases you at most have to copy the config to a different storage device. So including/adding something like MC doesn't make any sense. Use something like WinSCP on your client, if you really need a filemanager, and don't mess up your firewall.

In case anyone else has this problem the workaround is to run mc -u
