Public bug reported:
Linux carbon 4.15.0-33-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 15 16:00:05 UTC
2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
TO REPRODUCE:
1. Install fresh Xubuntu bionic beaver 18.04.1 LTS
2. Go to main menu and select "Software" to start gnome-software
3. Click down arrow to reveal accessories and select
4. Find Vim entry and enter; Vim is reported as installed
5. Click on "Launch" and nothing happens
6. Type Super T to launch a terminal and type "vim" enter; Command 'vim' not
found
7. Type "gvim" enter; Command 'gvim' not found
8. Type "man vim" and a vim command is reported (but obviously not available)
9. Type sudo fin / -name '*vim*' | grep bin; only /usr/bin/vim.tiny shows up
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
- Selecting "launch" vim in Gnome Software is expected to launch vim
- Type "vim" command in a terminal is expected to launch vim, especially when
"man vim" says that command is available
- If the Vim package is installed a full vim is expected
FIX:
- Run "sudo apt update", "sudo apt install vim" and vim is then available from
gnome software and terminal
