Broken Vim Today

[Ryan G.]

Hey Jason,
Thanks for the quick response! I thought I’d installed via a ppa, but I
didn’t see anything in /etc/apt/sources.list so I thought I misremembered,
but I forgot to check /etc/apt/sources.list.d.
The ppa is jonathonf/vim/ubuntu and I believe it resides here
<https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/vim>.

I imagine you’re right on that.

Thanks again for your help,
Ryan
