For some reason after installing and reinstalling vim, ae still remains the default editor.
when I look in /etc/alternatives I see: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 30 23:12 editor -> /bin/ae lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Apr 30 23:12 editor.1.gz -> /usr/man/man1/ae.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Apr 30 23:12 ex -> /usr/bin/vim lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Apr 30 23:12 ex.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz Is there some debian specific setup script that maintains these links? I know I can just manually change them to point to vim, but I want to run the proper program that does it so I know for future reference. Thanks for help. Mark.
