Package: vim-doc
Version: 1:7.0-122+1etch3
Severity: minor


I've got the vim and vim-doc packages installed, but when I type :help in
vim, I get:

E433: No tags file                                                                                                      
E149: Sorry, no help for help.txt                               

But:

$ locate help.txt | grep vim                                                                                            
/usr/share/vim/doc/help.txt                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                                                            
This error went away when I installed vim-runtime. So all is well, but I
think that either vim-runtime should be installed with vim by default, or
vim shouldn't brag about its help file on start-up when in fact it isn't
there or can't be found.
