Package: nvi
Version: 1.34-7

Hi...

Ok, I have elv-vi as per normal installed on my box here, and I decided to
'try out' the nvi-1.34-7.deb package.

It installed fine, and I could use nvi because it knew that vi was installed
and installed it as nvi - great.  BUT this happened when I removed it:

[root@orion:12:/pub/linux/debian/binary/editors] dpkg -r nvi
(Reading database ... 8721 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing nvi ...
Checking available versions of ex, updating links in /etc/alternatives ...
Discarding obsolete slave link for ex.1 (/usr/man/man1/ex.1).
Last package providing vi (/usr/bin/vi) removed, deleting it.
[root@orion:12:/pub/linux/debian/binary/editirs] vi ~karl/tower.unx
bash: /usr/bin/vi: No such file or directory
[root@orion:12:/pub/linux/debian/binary/editors]

I had to re-installed elv-vi and it worked fine.  I don't think that removing
nvi should remove vi too :-)

Regards,

...Karl

We're in transition to a new scheme for arbitrating this.
You had an nvi package using the new scheme and an elvis package
which hadn't yet been updated to use it.  The updated elvis
package was uploaded last night.  As yet, the other vi clones
haven't been updated.
