[Bug 784482] Re: vim-tiny doesn't install a symbolic link to vim

[drey]

Hi.
I have vim.tiny installed and wanna use it instead of vi/vim because of weird arrows buttons behavior in edit mode.
i checked, that vim.tiny works good for me but I want to use short "vi" command to edit files.
So I tried to change a symlink from this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     20 Jul 11 03:19 /usr/bin/vi -> /etc/alternatives/vi
 to this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 Jul 12 07:02 /usr/bin/vi -> /usr/bin/vim.tiny
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     20 Jul 11 03:19 /usr/bin/vi.bad -> /etc/alternatives/vi

but the behavior still stays the same i don't know why.

Other /usr/bin/vi*:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 Jul 12 07:02 /usr/bin/vi -> /usr/bin/vim.tiny
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     20 Jul 11 03:19 /usr/bin/vi.bad -> /etc/alternatives/vi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     22 Jul 11 03:19 /usr/bin/view -> /etc/alternatives/view
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  18456 Oct 31  2011 /usr/bin/viewres
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 725732 Mar 12 15:25 /usr/bin/vim.tiny
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   9696 Apr 17 05:23 /usr/bin/vino-passwd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  26508 Apr 17 05:23 /usr/bin/vino-preferences

I'm on linux mint 13 up-to-date.
Can you help me?

Title:
  vim-tiny doesn't install a symbolic link to vim

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vim-tiny

  When just vim-tiny is installed, running vim at the command line
  results in :

  # vim
  The program 'vim' can be found in the following packages:
   * vim
   * vim-gnome
   * vim-tiny
   * vim-gtk
   * vim-nox

  Either command-not-found-data should be changed. Or (more likely) vim-
  tiny should install a link for vim via the /etc/alternatives system.
