On my system, if I export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim, sdiff, then edit something, it does indeed launch VIM, however the data which I wanted to edit is not visible inside VIM, and when I save and quit, the output is null. Ditto if I use ed.
I noticed in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=320222 that it's mentioned that the bug is fixed in a more recent version of diffutils. Could we get that version or are we stuck with this broken version until debian upgrades? -- sdiff calling editor fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/73337 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
