A link to /usr/bin/vi already exists, so a link will not be made A link to /usr/man/man1/vi.1 already exists, so a link will not be made Not linking vim to vi in /usr/bin or /usr/man/man1 vim should use update-alternatives instead. Taking a leaf out of nvi's postinst: update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/vi vi /usr/bin/vim 20 \ --slave /usr/man/man1/vi.1 vi.1 /usr/man/man1/vim.1 would seem appropriate, with a corresponding if [ $1 != "upgrade" ] then update-alternatives --remove vi /usr/bin/vim fi in the prerm.
