Bug#399024: vim: Upgrade fails because of missing man page directory

[Larry Lade]

According to dpkg.log packages vim, vim-common, vim-runtime, vim-tiny,
vim-gtk, vim-gnome, vim-gui-common  from 1:7.0-094+1 to 1:7.0-122+1, to 1:
7.0-152+1, to 1:7.0-158+1, to 1:7.0-164+1. The error messages about the
Russian manpage do not appear in that log. I can attach the log if you think
it would be useful.

Synaptic's History tool oddly records no activity on these packages since 26
October (122 -> 152 upgrade).

I'm starting to suspect this is cruft introduced by some other package some
time ago. I'm still perplexed where "/usr/share/man/ru.UTF-8/" is coming
from, since I don't even have such a directory on my filesystem.

Hmm... a quick Google search indicates this path appearing in reports for
Vim 7.0 on other bug tracking systems.
