Subject: vi (?) segfaults
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.4 (potato i386)
I suspect this problem is really for elvis-tiny 1.4-7, which dpkg showed as
installed, but I'm not 100% sure. Please reassign as appropriate. If I vi
sources.list and execute the command
:1,44s/stable/potato/g
I get a segmentation fault. Using % in place of 1,44 works alright.
After the seg fault, the file is locked, and can't be edited further. I
had to reboot the system (I know there's a better way; fee free to
enlighten me) to access the file. (Well, I also did a mv sources.list
s.l.bak; cp s.l.bak sources.list; rm s.l.bak. But there's a better way
than that too, right?)
But to return the original subject: the file doesn't have 44 lines. But a
segfault seems like a poor reaction to that problem...

I have a few fixes for elvis-tiny, one for bug #55407 (vi segfaults)
and one for bug #73059 (substitute & fails on third substitution).
I've included them in the text below. They're two separate patches;
so cut them out into two files.
I don't know if I qualify as "maintainer" but I'll see if I can keep
fixing and learning as time goes on.
