Description w unruh 2016-03-28 19:07:27 CEST
Description of problem:
There are files which are listed as part of 
rpm -ql vim-common
which are not installed at all. 
Eg. 
/usr/share/locale/pl.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
/usr/share/locale/pl.cp1250/LC_MESSAGES/vim.mo
are claimed to be in the package, but are not installed 
These all seem to be "language" files and so may be excluded due to some
language setting in installation (although why /usr/share/vim/locale/pl/ should be installed when I certainly never selected polish as a language).
 However this also leaves dangling links from /usr/share/vim/lang/.

Hi w unruh,

Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue!

Did this bug get fixed? If so, please change its status to RESOLVED - FIXED

If it didn't, then we regret that we weren't able to fix it in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/
It only continued to get important security updates since then, because we are waiting for a big Plasma5 update in Mageia 6, that'll fix many of the Mageia 5 => 6 upgrade issues.

If you haven't seen that this bug got fixed, then please check whether this bug still exists in Mageia 6. If it does, then please change the Version (near the top, at the left) to "6". If you know it exists in Cauldron, then change Version to Cauldron. If you see it in both Cauldron and Mageia 6, then please set Version to Cauldron and add MGA6TOO on the Whiteboard.

Thanks,
Marja
