[Bug 1815649] Re: Vim on Ubuntu Disc 19.04 does not work

[Edson José dos Santos]

When entering F1 the following information appeared:

help.txt*      For Vim version 7.4.  Last change: 2016 Sep 07

                  VIM - fake help file for vim-tiny

The Vim online help is not installed on this Debian GNU/Linux system.

WHY ?

Because only the "vim-tiny" package is installed, whose sole purpose is to
provide the vi command for base installations.  As such, it contains a minimal
version of Vim compiled with no graphical user interface and a small subset of
features, in order to keep the package size small.

Since the "vim-runtime" package is rather huge when compared to "vim-tiny",
installing the latter does not automatically install the former.

HOW TO GET A BETTER VIM

To get a more featureful Vim binary (and a vim command, rather than just vi),
install one of the following packages: vim, vim-nox, vim-athena, vim-gtk, or
