Hi,
   As per some conversations last week I've been doing a lot of clean
up of my world files. I've moved from a high of 235 files down to my
low today of onl 112. However I ran into one problem. My world file
has both vi and vim. vi is no longer in portage but the system doesn't
want to let me remove it:

flash ~ # emerge -pv --depclean

>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:


!!! Trying to unmerge package(s) in system profile. 'app-editors/vi'
!!! This could be damaging to your system.


 app-editors/vi
    selected: 3.7-r5
   protected: none
     omitted: none

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

flash ~ # emerge -pv vi

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "vi".

flash ~ #

Is this possibly a small bug in the profiiles somewhere? How should I
remove vi and use vim? I presume I'm not really supposed to change a
system profile. I've not had to do that before.

Thanks,
Mark
