Debian, for example, uses a link from /usr/bin/vi to /etc/alternatives/vi,
which then points to /usr/bin/vim or /bin/vi depending on which packages
you have installed.
It's possible that a (particularly stupid) shell command history could
point to /usr/bin/vi as the copy to run and then break when it's not
there, giving a misleading error to a new user that's not familiar with
typing, say, '/bin/vi' to actually run the damn thing how you want it
to be run. He might have had an alias or something, too.
I would assume that something happened when he typed 'vi' that was not
cool. /bin/vi (on most installations) is only dependent, at most,
on libraries in /lib for good reason.
I still think the easiest way to fix things like this is to stick in the
rescue disks, mount the directory, and fix it with a full complement of
working tools ('chroot'ing to the disk, if possible, for even more).
ObPan: I upgraded to Pan 0.13.2 in Debian unstable without a hitch, no
chrooting necessary. Thanks to all involved.
