Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debianutils
bryce> kirkland: btw I ran into an issue with sensible-editor
<bryce> kirkland: I have a chroot set up with intrepid installed, and have
emacs22 installed in that. When I do crontab -e, sensible-editor asks to
choose vim.tiny or emacs22
<bryce> kirkland: I pick emacs22 which it accepts without error, but it pops up
vi instead
<bryce> on exiting I see the error messages:
<bryce> /usr/bin/select-editor: 41: cannot create /home/bryce/.selected_editor:
Permission denied
<bryce> /usr/bin/select-editor: 41: cannot create /home/bryce/.selected_editor:
Permission denied
<bryce> I believe this is because I mount my home dir read-only inside the
chroot
* bigjools-dinner is now known as bigjools
<bryce> I tried putting various things into ~/.selected_editor but didn't know
what it expects to be there; couldn't get it to work.
