Description paul59584 2012-05-19 02:08:51 UTC

Description of problem:
updating to vim 7.3.515-1 (vim-common, vim-enhanced, vim-filesystem, vim-minimal) results in sudoedit not working, for example see following command

$ sudoedit /etc/hosts
sudoedit: /bin/vi: command not found

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
7.3.515-1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update vim to version 7.3.515-1 (from 7.3.315-1)
  
Actual results:
enter: sudoedit filename
get:   sudoedit: /bin/vi: command not found"


Expected results:
file opens for editing in vim 

Additional info:
downgrading to version 7.3.315-1 makes it work properly again

Comment 1 paul59584 2012-05-22 04:48:04 UTC

I see it breaks because vim-minimal x86_64 2:7.3.515-1.fc16 package now puts vi in /usr/bin, I guess because of new f17 filesystem where /bin is just a link to /usr/bin. 

new version of vim-minimal works if i do "ln -s /usr/bin/vi /bin/vi"
maybe vim-minimal package for f16 should either make a link to new location of vi or install it in /bin unless f16 filesystem is also going to change.

Comment 2 AMM 2012-05-22 05:05:00 UTC

Not just symlinks to vi but vi need symlinks for other files as well. Because there may other programs which depend on ex or rvi or rview or view.

This should fix it:

cd /bin
ln -s ../usr/bin/vi
ln -s vi ex
ln -s vi rvi
ln -s vi rview
ln -s vi view

Please read earlier comment as:
Not just symlink for /bin/vi to /usr/bin/vi, but we need symlinks for other files as well.  ...
