Stop with the finger pointing and find the bug. User error it wasn't. I just did a apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade, and ta-da, no more vim. dselect showed the old version of vim still installed, but the files weren't there. apt DOES remove files (that's 1/3 of its job: install,remove,upgrade) and vim DOES have postint and postrm (whatever they are called) scripts, so can one of you please find and fix this? a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
