Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: id-utils
$> eid MAX_NUM_DEVICE_EEPROM
MAX_NUM_DEVICE_EEPROM ../dev_common_defines.h ../dev_test_eeprom_impl.c
edit? [y1-9^S/nq] /test
edit? [y1-9^S/nq] /dev
edit? [y1-9^S/nq] q
The above "/test" should have opened vi on dev_test_eeprom_impl.c
The "/dev" should have opened the first file.
The "/" syntax stated that it will edit the first file that matches the
following regex.
Instead it just re-issues the prompt.
This has been broken a long time in debian and ubuntu.
Here's a patch:
