Subject: vim-tiny incompatible with vim-common's mailcap

Date: Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:29:31 +1100

Package: vim-common
Version: 2:7.3.363-1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/lib/mime/packages/vim-common

After installing vim-tiny,

    $ compose /tmp/tmp.c
    sh: 1: vim: not found
    Warning: program returned non-zero exit code #127

This is because vim-tiny provides "vi" but not "vim", and vim-common
claims the latter can edit text/* files.

I think either vim-tiny should provide an alternative for
/usr/bin/vim, or the mailcap should refer to vi instead of vim.

We specifically stopped providing a vim alternative in the vim-tiny package
because of the purpose of the package (providing a vi for the base system) and
because the lack of functionaity confused too many users.

I'll look into adjusting the mailcap for vim-tiny.

Thanks,
