Bug#335502: /usr/bin/{vim,gvim} symlinks not created

Package: vim-common
Version: 1:6.4-001+2
Severity: normal

Hello,

after todays Sid upgrade the vim installation broke. The new symlinks in /usr/bin to the "alternatives" links were just missing. I think it comes from some 
internal breakage in update-alternatives, I have seen it doing strange things before. Using update-alternatives now does not recreate the symlinks either.

I propose a check on vim-common.postinst to work around that.

Eduard.
