[ubuntu-in] Erratic Vi on FeistyFawn

[Ravi Shanker]

Remove and purge all the vi and vims,
then just install vim or vim-full, and there you go.
The error most likely maybe the wrong package installation, as vi is lnk
to vim, so you type vi or vim, its same.
But not in your case it seems, as you told. So just reintall the right
package.
