taking your cue, I found in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/python27.conf: /opt/python27/lib
no idea how that got there, nothing owns it: > dpkg -S /etc/ld.so.conf.d/python27.conf dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /etc/ld.so.conf.d/python27.conf > dpkg -S /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf libc-bin: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf > ls -al /opt/python27/lib/ total 5532 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 22 2012 ./ drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 22 2012 ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Aug 22 2012 libpython2.7.so -> libpython2.7.so.1.0* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5630347 Aug 22 2012 libpython2.7.so.1.0* drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 22 2012 pkgconfig/ drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 20480 Aug 22 2012 python2.7/ which gives you an idea on how old this debian install is I commented out the /opt/python27/lib, ran ldconfig -v, and now vim starts up.
