Bug#837130: vim package cannot be installed because of missing dependency

[Francesc Zacarias]

Source: vim
Version: 2:7.4.2330-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   * I upgraded my packages via apt-get update/dist-upgrade as usual. vim got uninstalled because a new vim package was released but one of its dependencies could not be installed due to not being available in the repos: vim-runtime (= 2:7.4.2330-1).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * -

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * vim does not exist on my system anymore, which is a tool I use constantly.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   * I expected a newer version of vim to be installed, not to be removed :)

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
