The binary vim.tiny is an implementation detail. I tried to move them under /usr/libexec, but that caused the alternatives to reset their priorities for existing installs, so it had to be reverted. The intended use is to invoke the binary through the named alternatives (vi, view, ex, editor). > After pressing ENTER, I can use it. > While I understand that vim-tiny won't give me the full vim experience, it > currently does give the above error on every invocation. > I don't recall it gave that/a error before. When invoked as vi it doesn't, because that triggers Debian's patch to only use the tiny config. I'll talk with upstream about whether an error should really be emitted when defaults.vim isn't available. I'll also look into whether there's anything that should be adjusted for the aforementioned patch. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB
