apt-get tells me package 'vim' contains gvim, but does it?

[Chris Moore]

Binary package hint: vim

I try running gvim, but it's apparently not installed:

chris@trpaslik:~$ gvim
The program 'gvim' can be found in the following packages:
 * vim
 * vim-perl
 * vim-ruby
 * vim-full
 * vim-python
 * vim-tcl
 * vim-gnome
 * vim-tiny
 * vim-gtk
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled
bash: gvim: command not found

Ah, it's in package vim? I'll install that then:

chris@trpaslik:~$ sudo apt-get install vim

vim is already the newest version.

It's already installed? Something somewhere must not be telling me the truth then.

Do you have the universe component enabled?

[Chris Moore (dooglus)]

I do.

The package seems to be 'vim-gnome' (http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/editors/vim-gnome)

Thanks,

I installed that one and now have gvim. Maybe some of the other
packages listed also contain gvim, but not all of them do.
