vi seg faults; can't emerge postfix

I'm not sure if these are bugs. Can someone confirm/denied before I submit them. I'm fairly sure that #2 is a bug, bug the vi seg fault is unexpected also. I have the base install w/ kde and winowmaker.

1. I emerged vi, everything went well. But running vi (as root) results in a seg fault <shrug>. Haven't added another user, so this may just be the root environment.

2. When trying to install postfix (emerge postfix) I get the following "circular?" error. I've typed/edited the lines below.

#emerge --pretend postfix
[blocks B] virtual/mta (net-mail/ssmtp)
[ebuild N] net-mail/postfix-1.1.11-r5 to /

#emerge postfix
!!!Error: the virtal/mta package conflicts with this package and both can't be installed on the same system together.

Thanks,

markpmc

As far as for VI it will segfault if your term=linux you need to set term to vt200 and it will work fine.

try unmerging ssmpt then merging postfix... You have a package that is already installed using virtual/mta.

Alternatively, you can emerge vim. It's just like VI but has a few extra bells & whistles. I emerged vim, then created a soft link from /usr/bin/vim to /usr/bin/vi.
