Package: vim Version: 2:7.3.547-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I want to use vim to edit a write-only file by supplying the name in the command. Of course, it says "permission denied" when opening it (because it cannot be read!), but, however, it says the file is READ-ONLY and sets the readonly flag! After editing the file, as vim thinks it's read only, I have to either turn the flag off or use w! to write the file, and it is successful.
