Package: vim-tiny Version: 2:8.1.0875-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When invoked as vi, vim.tiny incorrectly reports the file size being edited, reporting "898964 characters" no matter now large or small the file is (tried files from 0 bytes to 71 MB). It works correctly when invoked as vim.tiny. This seems to be a problem on the armhf/armv7l architecture; I did not see it on an i686 machine. tresi@raspberrypi:~$ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 4.19.97-v7+ #1294 SMP Thu Jan 30 13:15:58 GMT 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux tresi@raspberrypi:~$ echo hi > foo tresi@raspberrypi:~$ ls -al foo -rw-r--r-- 1 tresi tresi 3 Feb 15 11:59 foo tresi@raspberrypi:~$ vi foo hi ~ "foo" 1 line, 898964 characters tresi@raspberrypi:~$ which vi /usr/bin/vi tresi@raspberrypi:~$ readlink /usr/bin/vi /etc/alternatives/vi tresi@raspberrypi:~$ readlink /etc/alternatives/vi /usr/bin/vim.tiny tresi@raspberrypi:~$ readlink /usr/bin/vim.tiny tresi@raspberrypi:~$ vim.tiny foo hi ~ "foo" 1L, 3C -- Package-specific info: --- real paths of main Vim binaries --- /usr/bin/vi is /usr/bin/vim.tiny -- System Information: Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Release: 10 Codename: buster Architecture: armv7l Kernel: Linux 4.19.97-v7+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CRAP Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages vim-tiny depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.53-4 ii libc6 2.28-10+rpi1 ii libselinux1 2.8-1+b1 ii libtinfo6 6.1+20181013-2+deb10u2 ii vim-common 2:8.1.0875-5 vim-tiny recommends no packages.
