Package: vim Version: 1:6.3-071+1 Severity: important
If you have a symlink to a file and open the file for editing with vim using the symlink, it creates a lock based on the symlink rather than the actual file, which means you could have two people editing the same file without locking warning them about this. vim should dereference the symlink to get the real file and use that name for the locking so that all instances no matter which symlink they go through would end up with the same lock file.
