Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.1-0pre1.3
The script /usr/bin/glibcbug has emacs hard coded into it on line 46.
Currently, it checks for the EDITOR environment variable, and if that is not
set, then it uses emacs.
This should be changed so that if EDITOR is not set, it checks
/usr/bin/editor before going to a predefined editor.
Something like
if [ "$EDITOR" = "" ]; then
EDITOR="$VISUAL"
if [ "$EDITOR" = "" ]; then
if [ -x /usr/bin/editor ]; then
EDITOR="$($REALPATH /usr/bin/editor)"
else
if [ ! -x /bin/ae ]; then
echo $"$0: Cannot locate a texteditor." >&2
exit 1
fi
EDITOR="ae"
fi
fi
fi
(stolen from /usr/bin/bug) should do the trick.

I fixed this by using sensible-editor instead of emacs.
