Can you patch vim-gnome to point to vim-gtk instead of vim-gtk3 in the meantime?
I know many people who are used to installing "vim-gnome" to get the desktop integration and were baffled when their vim broke. It's not so obvious that several of the packages Ubuntu offered are just broken and you need to uninstall those and try again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to vim in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611363 Title: vim.gtk3 crashes frequently with SIGSEGV in ffi_call_unix64() Status in vim: Confirmed Status in vim package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in vim source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, vim-gtk3 crashes so often on my system that it's borderline unusable. My system is a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04. I also (temporarily) renamed my customized ~/.vimrc and ~/.vim. My system is up-to-date as of today (2016-08-09); installed vim-gtk3 is 2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.1. The crash happens only (but very frequently, not always) when I launch gvim, either by calling it from a shell or by double-clicking a file in Nautilus. Note that the crash is independent of whether I'm opening a file or not. (At least I tried both variations from the terminal.) There's also a report on vim's bugtracker, but since unity appears in the backtrace, the consensus is that it's probably Ubuntu-specific.
