Bug#440704: Package vim completely broken on alpha

[Peter J. Holzer]

Package: vim
Version: 6.3-071+1sarge2
Severity: grave

Installation of vim on alpha fails with the following error:

Unpacking vim-common (from .../vim-common_1%3a6.3-071+1sarge2_all.deb) ...
Unpacking vim (from .../vim_1%3a6.3-071+1sarge2_alpha.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/vim_1%3a6.3-071+1sarge2_alpha.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/share/vim/vim63/vimrc_example.vim', which is also in package vim-common
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/vim_1%3a6.3-071+1sarge2_alpha.deb

However, the duplicate file isn't the only problem. The package is also
missing the vim executable, instead it contains lots of HTML files which
seem to belong in vim-doc (but it's not exactly like vim-doc either, so
it's not just a matter of mixed-up filenames).

The packages for i386 and sparc seem to be ok.
