Uhm, are you sure this bug does apply only when the alternatives status is manual? It happened to me as well and I'm quite sure mine alternatives were set to "auto". Nevertheless I ended up with vim/gvim returning both "command not found". For me, since the alternatives where automatic, the proper fix has been: # update-alternatives --auto vim # update-alternatives --auto gvim Some other ways of reestablishing the proper alternatives (e.g. update-alternatives --config vim/gvim) did not work, since the alternatives system sees only one alternative and refuse to make the user choose "among" them. James, I think we can probably do an (conditional, only if set to some of the disappeared variants) update-alternatives --auto in the postinst or something like that. This would change the semantics of manual alternatives, but they would be broken anyhow, now that some variants disappeared.
