Package: vim Version: 1:7.0-122+1 Severity: important Important because the behaviour is confusing and the way to resolve it is by no means on the hand. Maybe even RC as it could it hurt the reputation of debian as the "Upgrades-Always-Work" distribution.

I could look for relevant output of the vim upgrade if you like. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-3-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages vim depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgpmg1 1.19.6-23 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii vim-common 1:7.0-122+1 Vi IMproved - Common files ii vim-runtime 1:7.0-122+1 Vi IMproved - Runtime files vim recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
