Public bug reported:
This is a kind of documentation bug relating to an automated feature
(possibly of "alternatives")
I am running Xubuntu 12.04.1, and have added package "vim" manually.
When I enter the command "gvim", I get the message
The program 'gvim' can be found in the following packages:
* vim
* vim-gnome
* vim-tiny
* vim-athena
* vim-gtk
* vim-nox
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
Note that "vim" appears in the list. It did not provide gvim, and is
not compiled to do so ("vim -g" reports "E25: GUI cannot be used: Not
enabled at compile time".)
It appears what I got is more like "vim-nox".
