Bug Description
$ quickly edit
crashes if gedit is not installed.
This problem can be replicated with 11.04-0ubuntu1.1 on natty and 11.10-0ubuntu1 on oneiric.
It is related to but not a direct duplicate of #483917 .
$ EDITOR=
works fine if a editor providing /etc/alternativ
(i.e. leafpad)
quickly edit should chose a alternate editor if gedit is not present.
I.e. by using /etc/alternativ
A simple but bad workaround would be to let the package depend on gedit directly instead of "gedit | editor".
Since none of the editors providing /etc/alternativ
This should be changed!
It might also be a good idea to introduce /etc/alternativ

Reading the source code shows that, on a box without X-windows, quickly has a similar hidden dependency on nano.
