[gentoo-user] NVI blocks VIM and NVI part of system profile?

[Thomas T. Veldhouse]

I just tried to install VIM, as I use it as my editor for TIN; 
otherwise, I use NVI as my editor of choice.  However, I see the 
following when I try ... since when does NVI block VIM and since when is 
NVI part of the system profile?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] glibc # emerge -p vim
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

[blocks B     ] app-editors/nvi (is blocking app-editors/vim-6.3.068)
