Public bug reported: Ubuntu 22.04
When running vim.tiny it says: $ vim.tiny E1187: Failed to source defaults.vim Press ENTER or type command to continue This is due to the defaults.vim file not being available. If you just run it as vi $ vi this message does not appear as vim.tiny runs in compatibility mode. I found mention of this issue in: https://github.com/grml/grml-etc-core/issues/99 The defaults.vim file is provided by the package vim-runtime. I'm unsure what the issue is, if something needs to be in /etc/vim/vimrc.tiny or a /etc/vim/vimrc needs to be provided dpkg claims vimrc is in vim-common, but no file is installed for me from that package, or if vim-runtime needs to be a required package for vim-tiny $ dpkg -S /etc/vim/vimrc vim-common: /etc/vim/vimrc $ ls -al /etc/vim/vimrc ls: cannot access '/etc/vim/vimrc': No such file or directory I discovered this because my .selected-editor was vim.tiny after running crontab -e $ crontab -e Select an editor.
