Hi Peter-
I don't quite understand this bug.
sensible-editor is most certainly in Intrepid, and is provided by the
debianutils package.
visudo is located at /usr/sbin/visudo, and is provided by the sudo
package. Looking at the source, visudo doesn't support 'sensible-
editor'. It does respect the EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables,
if those are set in your environment. The only way I could get 'visudo'
to use a nano editor was to first export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano.
Please check the value of $EDITOR, when you're seeing this problem.
I'm going to mark this as "Invalid" against debianutils. If, instead,
what you want is for visudo to support sensible-editor, that seems
reasonable. Add a new task for this bug against the sudo package.
