Description Brian Carper 2007-08-02 00:48:58 UTC

An ebuild that uses vim.eclass (e.g. vim-7.0.235.ebuild) clobbers a user's eselected choice of vi clone.  If you have two vi clones installed (say vim and nvi) every time you update one or the other, your eselected vi will change.

If vim.eclass used `eselect vi update --if-unset` instead of `eselect vi update` this wouldn't happen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge vim
2. emerge nvi
3. eselect vi set nvi
4. emerge vim

Actual Results:  
/usr/bin/vi points to /usr/bin/vim

Expected Results:  
/usr/bin/vi should point to /usr/bin/nvi
