vi without encrypt

[guru]

Normally vim has some encrypt feature to store the resulting file only readable with some key provided:

$ vim -x testfile
Warning: Using a weak encryption method; see :help 'cm'
Enter encryption key: ***
Enter same key again: ***
...
$ file testfile  
testfile: Vim encrypted file data

The vi in our UBT (which is also a vim) does not have this feature compiled in. The flag -x is unknown as it says.

Why?

Why?

It's only in a full VIM install, which is not in the UT rootfs. You can install it in libertine if you want to use a full VIM.
