Would not be uncommon in a container or purpose-built VM.

Have you run into that? I can't recall ever facing that issue. Seems very weird to strip down that much and then use a different editor. Do you remember if ed was missing in those machines?

I had to laugh out loud. I couldn't imagine such a system, that wouldn't be POSIX compliant. So I looked it up, and indeed, it's entirely possible. Debian doesn't necessarily include it.

Yes I've run into containers where every utility that wasn't needed to run the service was stripped out. Even tools such as "less."

So what was the editor?
