This is a problem in vim, as James Vega and I just determined:

< madduck> jamessan: so something corrupted /usr/share/vim/addons/doc/tags on 
two systems at least
< madduck> -rw-r--r--  1 root root  1961 2006-10-25 19:00 tags
< madduck> lemme see what i did at 19:00 that day
< madduck> hm, dpkg.log shows nothing. great.
< jamessan> madduck: figured it out. vim-runtime needs a postinst that runs 
helpztags since upgrading vim-runtime overwrites /usr/share/vim/addons/doc/tags
< madduck> jamessan: except i did not upgrade vim-runtime at that time. :/
< jamessan> madduck: that time is the time the package was built

Thanks, James!
