Bug Description
Binary package hint: vim-tiny
Vim-tiny receives an error in configuration at start. I've just installed Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 5 and updated it.
user@jaunty:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04
user@jaunty:~$ vim
The program 'vim' can be found in the following packages:
* vim
* vim-gnome
* vim-tiny
* vim-gtk
* vim-nox
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
-bash: vim: command not found
user@jaunty:~$ whereis vim
vim: /usr/bin/vim.tiny /etc/vim /usr/share/vim /usr/share/
user@jaunty:~$ /usr/bin/vim.tiny
Error detected while processing /usr/share/
line 20:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: syntax on
Press ENTER or type command to continue
If I press ENTER the editor starts and it is ok.
The line 20 is:
syntax on
And if I disable it everything runs ok.
So vim.tiny is using /usr/share/
I think the not-being- linked- to-vim bit is deliberate - it provides vi but not really vim. I'll fix the other part now, though.
