Description Eric Lavarde 2020-11-23 10:46:17 UTC
Description of problem:

Default editor is changed to nano when upgrading from F32 to F33, this is a (annoying) change of the default behaviour (vim in my case).

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

$ rpm -qa | grep nano
nano-default-editor-5.3-4.fc33.noarch
nano-5.3-4.fc33.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always? I did 3 upgrade from F32 to F33 and each time had to fix the issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever 33
2. sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

Actual results:

nano-default-editor is installed and `EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano` is defined even though it wasn't the case before the upgrade.

Expected results:

Don't change the default behaviour of users.

Additional info:

Removing the package or even calling `sudo dnf install vim-default-editor --allowerasing` fixes the issue but it's a time loss.

This is already reported as bug #1896707.  I do not think this could be fixed in the nano package itself though.
