I ran into this issue myself. apt-get install vim and then running vim
gives the error

vim: error while loading shared libraries: libgailutil.so.18: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

I was not even interested in running anything else than the console
version so I now updated the alternatives:

as root do:
# update-alternatives --config vim

Es gibt 3 Alternativen, die »vim« bereitstellen.

  Auswahl      Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
          1    /usr/bin/vim.tiny
*+        2    /usr/bin/vim.gnome
          3    /usr/bin/vim.basic

Drücken Sie die Eingabetaste, um die Vorgabe[*] beizubehalten,
oder geben Sie die Auswahlnummer ein: 3
Verwende »/usr/bin/vim.basic«, um »vim« bereitzustellen.

It works now. Sorry for having omitted the LANG=C, but someone less
familiar with the alternatives setup might be interested nonetheless, so
I thought.
