Description:
Some programs use vi as default editor (like sudo) but there is no such program and there is no package that provides it. I suggest that vim package would provide vi as a link vi->vim. |
This task depends upon
But please note that sudo, crontab and others call vi as default, may be because of that:

So, simply, it must be there.
Actually I like vim much more than original vi so I stay with EDITOR=vim
