That is a pretty clever joke (not being sarcastic). Yes I have vim-gtk installed who is probably the culprit: vim install vim-common install vim-gtk install vimpart install The problem is when I try to uninstall it using aptitude, it want's to remove my entire desktop environment where as using apt-get remove just wants to remove kde, kdeaddons, vim-gtk & vimpart. I will try your solution on a different Debian GNU/Linux install that has the same problem.
