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.
