    Please file a bug with the Debian maintainers.

    How are people supposed to edit files without the standard editor?

    with nano? /uj maybe it was an option during the install, IDK, I don't want to bother the folks with a suspicion and a shitty memory, nor do I want to reinstall deb somewhere else

    I was joking, definitely don’t write them to install an editor that’s obsolete.

    sed and grep (both inspired by ed) to do most of what ed does in a modern way, and ed was only useful over teletype when it was slow/expensive to render a scrollable field.

    All modern TTYs support scroll regions, and with sed it just doesn’t make sense to use ed anymore.

    ed as the standard editor is mostly a meme based on this page https://wiki.c2.com/?EdIsTheStandardTextEditor
