Since (if selected) elvis is installed first (due to being in series 'a'), it sets up a symlink in the doinst.sh script. If vim is installed, its doinst.sh script checks for the presence of the 'vi' symlink, and if not present, will symlink 'vi' to 'vim'. root@pepa:~/ac/source/a/elvis# head -n2 /var/log/scripts/elvis-2.2-arm-2 ( cd usr/bin ; rm -rf vi ) ( cd usr/bin ; ln -sf elvis vi ) root@pepa:~/ac/source/a/elvis#
