Package: sensible-utils Version: 0.0.17 Severity: normal Tags: patch If I set: VISUAL="emacs -nw" then sensible-editor complains: /usr/bin/sensible-editor: 20: emacs -nw: not found but if I set: EDITOR="emacs -nw" instead, then sensible-editor is fine.
I think the correct behaviour should be to allow "emacs -nw", as in the EDITOR version. This behaviour can be replicated by removing the quote marks around "$VISUAL" on line 36 of /usr/bin/sensible-editor Best wishes, Julian
