Hi

After today unstable upgrade, vim configuration failed with:

update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/share/man/ru.UTF-8/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/editor.ru.UTF-8.1.gz: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing vim (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

I didn't yet have time to investigate more.
