Description Stephen Gordon 2013-02-13 17:31:41 UTC 
Description of problem:

When running quantum --help on a RHEL box with only @core + RHOS packages the output is prefixed with:

which: no gedit in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
which: no kate in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
which: no vim in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
which: no emacs in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
which: no nano in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
which: no pico in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

There are really a few issues here:

- In my opinion this output appears superfluous as the script proceeds to work anyway (at least for --help, not sure about other actions), in particular if there is really no editor then just one line would be enough to state that if it's absolutely required to tell the user.

- RHEL @core does actually include an editor, vi, but that is never checked for.

- Setting the EDITOR environment variable to point at vi doesn't appear to help, because the EDITOR environment variable is never checked.
