After an regular Centos 7 update, some of the MC functions stopped working:

copy file (F5) shows its dialog, but after confirmation no file is copied
move file (F6) shows its dialog, but after confirmation no file is copied
hitting ENTER or double-clicking on tar.gz file does nothing

The same operations performed manually in shell are working well.

I observe the same behaviour on both rpm-packaged and by-myself-compiled mc installation. I do not know how to trace what does not communicate well between MC and updated Centos libraries or kernel.

Problem resolved by upgrading pcre library from 8.32 to 8.41 and recompilation of mc.
