Simple fix: ln -s /usr/bin/vi /bin/vi which would fit in with the whole converfs in F17+
I know that. However I think an update cannot corrupt another program. Particularly given the importance of crontab
(In reply to comment #2) > I know that. > However I think an update cannot corrupt another program. > Particularly given the importance of crontab I agree, it was probbably just a build error. As yum whatprovides */vi shows: 2:vim-minimal-7.3.515-1.fc16.x86_64 : A minimal version of the VIM editor Repo : @fedora-updates Matched from: Filename : /usr/bin/vi Filename : /bin/vi But if you go to koji: the symlink is absent: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=3103305
Yes, apparently it was an error building the package and can be easily fixed. But it may cause some discomfort for some users. This will do. Thanks
vim-7.3.515-2.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/vim-7.3.515-2.fc16
Thanks for now.
Package vim-7.3.515-2.fc16: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing vim-7.3.515-2.fc16' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-8354/vim-7.3.515-2.fc16 then log in and leave karma (feedback).
+0 karma. Needs work. Packaging error: yum update vim fails, due to a missed dependency change: a move of /bin/ex from vim-minimal to vim-enhanced package. So the only way to get this installed in F16 is to do: yum update vim-filesystem vim-minimal vim-common vim-enhanced and then it installs correctly. This change fixes the problem with crontab -e.
vim-7.3.515-2.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
