Package: vim
Version: 1:7.1-056+2
Severity: important
ACTIONS
Following commands were run:
apt-get --purge remove vim vim-tiny vim-runtime
apt-get install vim
RESULTS
$ ls -la /usr/bin/vi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Sep 5 2004 /usr/bin/vi -> /etc/alternatives/vi
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/vi
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Mar 28 2006 /etc/alternatives/vi -> /usr/bin/vim
$ ls -la /usr/bin/vim
ls: /usr/bin/vim: No such file or directory
