Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vim-tiny
vim-tiny in edgy eft beta may possibly have a problem showing correct german umlauts (ä,ß, etc) typing ä vim-tiny writes ä[_] where [_] stands for an unvisible sign - but not an empty string: in mails which contains - for example ä[something] - it is shown as some strange ascii art ;) After installing package vim this strange behavior has gone. Using: - Edgy Eft, testing/unstable (all Patches applied until Sep. 30, 2006) - vim-tiny, Version 7.0-035+1ubuntu4 , on i386-x32 - new Installation without modifikation of any config file Variable LANG is: de_DE.UTF-8 TERM is: xterm Why is there a Link (or binary) in /usr/bin named vim when there is no such item in the package itself: dpkg -L shows /usr/bin/vim.tiny. In vim-common also there is no vim link or binary but i was able to start using the command vim in mutt and of course on command line.
