Thank you Stephan,

When all else fails, go back and read your notes!  I do always use a VM for 
these experiments and I keep detailed notes as I cannot remember how I did 
something when I want to do it again at a later date :-)  I had contributed my 
notes to the G-C project and they were posted on the web site as an article 
"Installing Gnome Commander on Debian, Ubuntu and Mint." However, a few 
packages and steps seem to have been lost.  I am working through the process 
again from scratch and will post my results to the lists. Gnome-commander is 
not SUPPOSED to build on 20.04 but tromoto explained a workaround which would 
make it possible.

p.s. Yes I am familiar with the difference between .rpm and .deb packages. I 
just noted that my searching had found what seemed to be gnome-vfs development 
packages for the RHEL/CentOS/Suse side of the house. They are also available 
for Arch/Manjaro. "pamac build gnome-vfs gnome-commander" does it all as if by 
magic :-)) Let me get back to work on this.
