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 -- ________________________ | PO Box 828 Office: (09)316-3036 Fax: (09)381-3909 |OWER INTERNET SERVICES Canning Bridge After Hours: 015-779-828 WA, 6153 Sales Support: sales@tower.com.au Internet Service Providers and Networking Solutions ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: karl@orion.tower.com.au Subject: Bug#1357: Acknowledgement (was: removing nvi removes vi) In-Reply-To: References: Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
