Do you have /usr/share/vim/vim56/doc/help.txt or /usr/share/vim/vim56/doc/help.txt.gz on your system? If you find only help.txt.gz, $ zcat help.txt.gz > help.txt should fix this. I vaguely remember it was like this in potato 2.2r2. If this is same as one I experienced, bug was filed and maintainer properly fixed it from better approach than above quick fix. You can install single file from *.deb file if one use mc to open archive.

Hmm, check the path under /usr/share/vim/. The file is probably
compressed ("help.txt.gz"), but vim should be able to handle that fine
provided it knows to accept .gz as a target. There should be a
file (or a symlink) /usr/share/vim/vimrc that contains a line like:
set helpfile=$VIMRUNTIME/doc/help.txt.gz

Installing vimtutor help file
Background: I just installed vim-rt on my system. When I'm in the vimtutor tutorial and try to obtain help by pressing F1 or with the :help command (per instruction in section 7), I'm told that the help file, /usr/share/vim/vim56/doc/help.txt, cannot be found. Question: How do I install this single file from the installation CDs?
