Additional info:

$ repoquery --provides 2:vim-minimal-7.3.515-1.fc16.x86_64
/bin/vi
config(vim-minimal) = 2:7.3.515-1.fc16
vi = 7.3.515-1.fc16
vim-minimal = 2:7.3.515-1.fc16
vim-minimal(x86-64) = 2:7.3.515-1.fc16

$ repoquery -l 2:vim-minimal-7.3.515-1.fc16.x86_64
/etc/virc
/usr/bin/ex
/usr/bin/rvi
/usr/bin/rview
/usr/bin/vi
/usr/bin/view

Note the difference between the provides and the file list.

The vim-minimal that shipped with F16 has /bin/vi:
$ repoquery -l 2:vim-minimal-7.3.315-1.fc16.x86_64
/bin/ex
/bin/rvi
/bin/rview
/bin/vi
/bin/view
/etc/virc

Comment 1 Paul Sand 2012-05-22 17:36:14 UTC
This breaks (at least) "crontab -e", which expects /bin/vi to be there if you don't have the EDITOR environment variable set.
