Package: elv-fmt Version: 1.8pl4-19 When I try to reformat a paragraph, with the command '!}fmt', in elvis, core is dumped. When I do it in vim or nvi, I get garbage instead of a reformatted paragraph. I tried reinstalling (and rebuilding the .deb package for) elv-fmt and the same effects were noted.
I had to re-install textutils in order to get a working /usr/bin/fmt. NB, the fmt in textutils seems to work with elvis, nvi, and vim. Is there any reason to have elv-fmt instead of the GNU fmt? If there is some reason, then some note in elv-fmt's description (at least) should alert that textutils has another (possibly better) version of /usr/bin/fmt. [Now that I purged elv-fmt, I notice that usr/doc/copyright/elvis has been deleted as well. I had to re-install elv-vi in order to get the copyright notice back. Well this might be a dpkg problem, I don't know.] This is with debian 0.93R6 + plus a few packages from 1.0 (but I haven't upgraded to ELF yet, so that's not it). -- Christopher J.
