Description Paul Varner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-14 05:18:42 UTC 
When using dispatch-conf, if $EDITOR is not set and you select edit new file, a traceback occurs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/dispatch-conf", line 317, in ?
    d.grind (portage.settings ['CONFIG_PROTECT'])
  File "/usr/sbin/dispatch-conf", line 207, in grind
    os.system(os.environ['EDITOR'] + ' ' + newconf)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/UserDict.py", line 17, in __getitem__
    def __getitem__(self, key): return self.data[key]
KeyError: 'EDITOR'
