Package: vim Version: 1:6.3-071+1 Severity: normal Hi,
there is no possibility to use the x-11 selection in vim running under xterm. The quotestar and quoteplus registers are not available (they are mapped to the unnamed register), thus making the simple vim X-11 cut/paste unusable. There are only gtk- and so versions of vim which are able to do this x-11 selection, but they are depending on a whole bunch of other libraries (gtk). I guess that the problem could be solved by adding some compile flags when building the package (compile the x-11 support in).
