Package: sensible-utils
Version: 0.0.13
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
vim.gtk was removed and I have run something which was relying on
sensible-editor
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I wondered why something reported that vim.gtk is missing and couldn't figure
out quickly where it comes from.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Reading sensible-editor manpage did not help. Checking environment did not
help, $EDITOR or $VISUAL were not set.
Eventually I had to dig in the shell script manually.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The error message from sensible-editor shall tell the user where the program
name came from, where was it set?
The manual page shall cross-link to select-editor manpage and mention the
~/.selected_editor file along the lines.
