Package: vim Version: 2:8.2.3565-1+b1 Severity: normal aftere the most recent debian unstable package upgrades, /etc/alternatives/vi suddenly no longer pointed to vim, which it has been for (as far as I can recall) 20 years or so on my systems.
Investigation shows that indeed /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/vi no longer offers 'vim' as an option: -------- auto /usr/bin/vi vi.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/vi.1.gz /usr/bin/nvi 20 /usr/share/man/man1/nvi.1.gz -------- while on a Debian 10 system it shows: -------- auto /usr/bin/vi vi.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/vi.1.gz vi.da.1.gz /usr/share/man/da/man1/vi.1.gz vi.de.1.gz /usr/share/man/de/man1/vi.1.gz vi.fr.1.gz /usr/share/man/fr/man1/vi.1.gz vi.it.1.gz /usr/share/man/it/man1/vi.1.gz vi.ja.1.gz /usr/share/man/ja/man1/vi.1.gz vi.pl.1.gz /usr/share/man/pl/man1/vi.1.gz vi.ru.1.gz /usr/share/man/ru/man1/vi.1.gz /usr/bin/vim.basic 30 /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz /usr/share/man/da/man1/vim.1.gz /usr/share/man/de/man1/vim.1.gz /usr/share/man/fr/man1/vim.1.gz /usr/share/man/it/man1/vim.1.gz /usr/share/man/ja/man1/vim.1.gz /usr/share/man/pl/man1/vim.1.gz /usr/share/man/ru/man1/vim.1.gz -------- Is this intentional?
