      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      install `vim-minimal` and then edit a file

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      vim-minimal-2:8.2.2637-20.el9_1

      How reproducible:

      every time

      Steps to reproduce

      1. microdnf -y install vim-minimal
      2. vi /tmp/file.txt

      Expected results

      editing the file

      Actual results

      bash: vi: command not found

       

      It appears that the vim-minimal package only contains a symlink to vim in /usr/bin but there is no actual vim binary:

      [root@ea7b2d25db68 /]# readlink /usr/bin/vi
      vim
      [root@ea7b2d25db68 /]# ls -la /usr/bin/vim
      ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/vim': No such file or directory
