[ARMedslack] miniroot 14 and current: vi is broken

2013-04-15 Thread Davide
I noticed that in the miniroot, both current and 14, vi  is broken looking for libperl and libpython . I know most of you will like to use nano ... but I'm an old fart and I still like vi !!! It can be fixed by installing a few packages: perl-5.16.1-arm-1.tgz python-2.7.3-arm-2.tgz ___
