It now builds with gcc14 and python 3.13 (had to do without the 2to3 utility).

since bertptrs has orphaned the package I've adopted it.

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
