Package: mc Version: 2:4.7.0-pre1-3 Severity: normal if: update-alternatives is set to use a particular editor (jed) mc is set to use external editor $EDITOR is not set to anything then editing a file in mc runs vi
if $EDITOR is now set, then editing a file in mc runs the editor specified in $EDITOR On a debian system mc should fall back to use 'sensible-editor' or 'editor', when $EDITOR is not set, thus respecting the alternatives mechansim. It should only fall back to 'vi' as last resort if 'sensible-editor' fails. Thanx for your work on mc - it really is appreciated. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (300, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mc depends on: ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpm2 1.20.4-3.2 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libslang2 2.1.4-3 The S-Lang programming library - r Versions of packages mc recommends: ii imagemagick 7:6.5.5.3-1 image manipulation programs Versions of packages mc suggests: pn arj <none> (no description available) ii bzip2 1.0.5-3 high-quality block-sorting file co pn dbview <none> (no description available) ii file 5.03-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii links 2.2-1+b1 Web browser running in text mode ii lynx 2.8.8dev.1-1 Text-mode WWW Browser (transitiona ii mime-support 3.46-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii odt2txt 0.4-1 simple converter from OpenDocument ii perl 5.10.0-25 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii unzip 6.0-1 De-archiver for .zip files ii w3m 0.5.2-2.1 WWW browsable pager with excellent ii xpdf 3.02-1.4+lenny1 Portable Document Format (PDF) sui ii zip 3.0-1 Archiver for .zip files -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
