vim.tcz is broken - Core 4.x

[lcof]

The vim.tcz package needs to list Xlibs.tcz as a dependency because it is linked against libXext.so.6.

fixed, thanks!

This brings up the question of whether we want to put Xlibs.tcz in the dep files of all apps that need X.   If we do, I guess it could be scripted to where if a dep file contains Xorg-7.6-lib.tcz, then Xlibs.tcz can be echoed into it.  Or, an ldd check can be run and that info used for a more fine tuned result.

Hmmm, indeed. After all the X libs are just like any other library as a dependency, it would be illogical IMHO to make an exception just for Xlibs.tcz, so I'd opt for putting Xlibs.tcz additionally to all .dep files already containing Xorg-7.6-lib.tcz...

Ok, I guess the thing that would benefit are apps that need libpng or similar that can run in either X or without, I think links is like this.    Otherwise Xlibs.tcz is a given with an X session running, but still a depenency.

Or, an ldd check can be run and that info used for a more fine tuned result.

IMHO, it sure would be a good thing to add an automated ldd dependency check on all executable files of a tcz, using the hosted .tcz.list files, for example into the checkdep() function of http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=2475.0 - Though this may already have been suggested.
Not the first time I see a broken package around here...

Hi lcof
There is a script to aid in dependency checking. Do a search for   lddout   in the forum.

from vim.org: Vim 7.3 is the latest stable version. It is highly recommended, many bugs have been fixed since 7.2
