Title:
  package "vim" advertised to supply "gvim" but does not.

Status in command-not-found package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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".
