Package: octave3.0
Version: 1:3.0.1-6lenny3
Severity: normal
How to reproduce:
shell> mkdir -p ~/octave
shell> unset DISPLAY
octave> edit home "~/octave"
octave> edit mode "sync"
octave> EDITOR
ans = vim
octave> edit f.m
Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal
Workarround:
Use gvim or emacs with X window support.
Problem seems to be related to RETURN_OUTPUT parameter of the system()
function. Compare, for example,
octave> system("vim test.m")
vs
octave> system("vim test.m",[]) # edit() uses system() like this
