Thank you for the quick fix, elelay.

Would it be appropriate for this package to be orphaned? I cannot find a reliable way to get in touch with the maintainer about pushing this upstream. I am aware this is a legacy application.

doesn't build with gcc14:

Dumb fix using sed (the first for line 143 the other for line 166):

Sad to see it removed from the main repository. One of the best minimalist file manager. Very fast, light and powerful
