Hi Paul,
i thought we were talking about (the fedora equivalent of)
/etc/alternatives, not installed pathname:
Nope.
surely the nmh package requirement isn't on a a specific provider of
{/usr}/bin/vi, is it?
Yep. Please examine
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nmh/blob/master/f/nmh.spec,
especially line eight. :-)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives#Usage_within_Fedora
says Fedora's `alternatives' system mustn't be used for vi, and explains
why.
