Hey there, when trying to use vipe (from sys-apps/moreutils-0.50) I am getting this error: ``` Can't exec "/bin/nano": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/vipe line 66. /bin/nano exited nonzero, aborting ``` If nano is required maybe we should add it as a RDEPEND or can use eselect editor link, to provide a user defined solution.
nano isn't referred to anywhere specifically. It appears to respect the following in preferred order, $VISUAL, $EDITOR, and then falls back to /usr/bin/editor if it exists and is executable otherwise the final fallback is vi. In other words, you probably have EDITOR=/bin/nano set in the environment so set EDITOR to something you have installed and would like to use instead.
Now 0.60-r1 calls `eselect editor update` in pkg_postinst which is probably the best we can do.
Hey Tim thanks for the feedback, (In reply to Tim Harder from comment #1) > In other words, you probably have EDITOR=/bin/nano set in the environment so > set EDITOR to something you have installed and would like to use instead. Yes I didn't define it myself, but it can be a generic preset in gentoo, because I haven't selected any editor in eselect ... Available targets for the EDITOR variable: Sorry, I should have looked further in the source before filing the bug.
