Sorry for being a paid in the ass, but I don't get it.

I install the `vim' (which, judging from the `apt-cache show vim'
description is the console version).  Then I get the same error message
as Steffen, about libgailutil.so.18, and vim doesn't run.  And that's
not a bug?

James> "simply doing "apt-get install vim" when vim-gnome is installed
isn't going to change the binary that is used for the vim alternative."

Shouldn't installing vim then prompt the user to choose a different
alternative, suggesting the one that was just installed?  (or at least
one that works... ?)

Should I have manually done one of the installation steps (updating the
alternatives)?  Of all the alternative-ized programs I've run, I've only
come across this problem (of installing it, then it not working) with
vim; is vim a special case?

Or did I somehow manually remove libgail without removing vim-gnome?  Or
was this an issue in a version of vim-gnome different from the one Colin
was examining?  Or...?

As far as I can tell, I've installed vim, observed that running '$ vim'
doesn't work, and been told that it's not a bug for newly installed
programs to not work.  Where am I wrong?
