I observe a similar problem. Initially I had been updating from dapper beta --> dapper drake --> edgy beta --> edgy eft --> feisty beta --> feisty fawn, and with this 'vi' pointed to the version of Vi where the arrow keys and I for insert mode were working as it should.
Then, I removed my existing installation and did a fresh install of Edgy Eft. Then, without installing any other packages I upgraded the fresh Edgy install to Feisty Fawn. After the upgrade was done, I found 'vi' wasn't behaving as it did, i.e., the arrow keys and I for insert were not working. I remember hearing this to be vi.tiny from Debian people. I tried tracking the sym-links of the 'vi' command and it was as below, /usr/bin/vi --> /etc/alternatives/vi --> /usr/bin/vim --> /etc/alternatives/vim --> /usr/bin/vim.tiny The weird behavior in this is when the command entered in bash is 'vi' it points to be odd behaving Vi, which follows the above vicious links to end in vim.tiny. But when I enter vim.tiny as the command, I get a vim.tiny where arrow keys and I for insert works. I tried changing all these vicious links and point /usr/bin/vi directly to /usr/bin/vim.tiny, but still it did not work and further fiddling with the links messed the whole vi group so i made them back as they were. So, i concluded that the 'vi' command is actually picking up something else which is in the PATH before picking vim.tiny as it should. And just moments ago, I checked with Aanjhan on whose system (upgraded from dapper --> edgy --> feisty as I was) the /usr/bin/vi points to /usr/bin/vim.gnome, but I do not have anything called as vim.gnome having been installed. -- Erratic Vi on feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
