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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to mitchell@mdd.comm.mot.com (Bill Mitchell) : Extra info received and forwarded.

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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to karl@orion.tower.com.au : New bug report received and forwarded.
