This problem is happening because the users only have vim-tiny installed and manually installed vim-runtime instead of installing a more featureful vim package (vim, vim-nox, vim-gtk, vim-gnome) which will automatically pull in vim-runtime.
Ideally users won't run into this as much once they upgrade to a 2:7.2.049-1 or later since that removes the vim alternative from vim- tiny, thus making it more likely they'll install one of the other vim packages (and hopefully removing a lot of confusion about how vim behaves when only vim-tiny is installed). -- vimtutor does not load the tutor file correctly if vim-gnome is not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255847 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
