Not configured correctly by default?

[Ian Phillips]

I installed vim-editorconfig like so:

sudo apt install vim-editorconfig

Then I ran vim and typed ":scriptnames" -- editorconfig was not among them.

When I look in /usr/share, most vim plugins appear to be in the vim/ directory, but vim-editorconfig has its own directory, and vim doesn't seem to be looking there.

Shouldn't running "apt install vim-editorconfig" make it Just Work?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Also god confused by this. After trying around and reading man pages over man pages I noticed that vim-editorconfig depends on vim-addon-manager. To put it simple: the package only registers the addon but does not install it. You have to run `vim-addon-manager install editorconfig` before you can use it.
