Agreed. I intend to update the vim.tiny patch so that it would avoid this message. I just haven't gotten to it yet. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB

Given that `vim.tiny` registers itself for the `view` and `editor` alternatives, it really should not throw any errors or warnings when invoked via them (I noticed this because `sudoedit` falls back to `editor` if the `$EDITOR` and `$VISUAL` environment variables aren't set). - ilmari

I tried to move them under /usr/libexec, but that caused the alternatives to reset their priorities for existing installs, so it had to be reverted. The intended use is to invoke the binary through the named alternatives (vi, view, ex, editor). > After pressing ENTER, I can use it. > While I understand that vim-tiny won't give me the full vim experience, it > currently does give the above error on every invocation. > I don't recall it gave that/a error before. When invoked as vi it doesn't, because that triggers Debian's patch to only use the tiny config. I'll talk with upstream about whether an error should really be emitted when defaults.vim isn't available. I'll also look into whether there's anything that should be adjusted for the aforementioned patch. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB

I don't know if it was the trigger for this bug report, but on a freshly installed (very) minimal bookworm (arm64) system with vim-tiny, using it produces the error as mentioned in the bug subject: $ vim.tiny .ssh/authorized_keys E1187: Failed to source defaults.vim Press ENTER or type command to continue After pressing ENTER, I can use it. While I understand that vim-tiny won't give me the full vim experience, it currently does give the above error on every invocation. I don't recall it gave that/a error before. My guess is that this bug wasn't a feature request (which would've had severity wishlist). Cheers, Diederik signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I’m pretty sure that it was a vim alternative at the time I installed it. – Might have been 10+ years ago, though. Anyway... good to know which way to go now.
