vim is uninstallable

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical)]

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/vim_1%3a6.2-532+4ubuntu2_i386.deb
(--install):
  trying to overwrite `/etc/vim/gvimrc', which is also in package vim-python

vim-python depends on that version of vim.

In this case its vim that got gvimrc and shouldn't have.
