Public bug reported:
In my newly installed xubuntu 8.10 beta (i386 edition), I tried the
command 'gvim', which gave me the following message:
The program 'gvim' can be found in the following packages:
* vim-gnome
* vim
* vim-nox
* vim-gtk
* vim-tiny
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
-bash: gvim: command not found
I tried to install 'vim-gtk' and 'vim-nox', but neither package was
found. I installed the package 'vim', which was found, but doesn't seem
to provide the command 'gvim', and neither does the (pre-installed)
package 'vim-tiny'. It turned out that of the suggested packages, only
'vim-gnome' did both exist and provide the command 'gvim'.
Since I did get my gvim command, I don't consider this a serious
problem, but I still feel that the list of suggested packages should
reflect reality a bit better :-)
