I'm concerned that changing the default is unwise because some user's
may be used to it being the default. I always uninstall nano on my
machines. At least ed will quit if you type q which was my first
guess. Nano keystrokes are all a bit strange and it requires a curses
capable terminal.

Any idea if something from /etc/alternatives is appropriate. On my system
editor points to something that requires X which isn't ideal. ex might
be a reasonable choice. Does that exist on a minimal system.

Bug#633524: ksh fc command calls /bin/ed (doesn't exist)

2011-07-11 Thread auto58326402
Package: ksh
Version: 93s+20080202-1  
Description:  The real, ATT version of the Korn 
shell


Problem:
When issuing the fc command, the program searches for /bin/ed which 
doesn't exist in recent default debian installs.  

$ fc
ksh: hist[1]: /bin/ed: not found [No such file or directory]
$ 

Possible fix: 
/bin/nano come's installed by default now, pointing it there should 
work.  To get around the default behaviour, you can also set the 
FCEDIT or HISTEDIT environment variables.

I am using Debian Squeeze, kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP and libc6 
(2.11.2-10) .
