Vimtutor : un tutoriel pour apprendre à utiliser Vim

Vimtutor est sensé être pré-installé avec votre distributeur linux, mais au moment où je l'ai lancé, voici le message d'erreur

malagasy@malagasy-laptop:~$ vimtutor
The program 'vimtutor' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install vim-runtime
bash: vimtutor: command not found

Evidement, le premier réflexe est d'installer ce qu'on me demande, c'est à dire vim-runtime. Manque de bol, le tutoriel ne veut toujours pas se lancer. J'ai ensuite essayé d'installer vim-common, mais ce paquet était déjà installé à la base.

malagasy@malagasy-laptop:~$ vimtutor
bash: /usr/bin/vimtutor: No such file or directory

Du coup, je me suis demandé s'il ne fallait pas supprimer ces deux paquets, puis de n'installer que vim-common.
