It's possible that the alternatives didn't get updated. I *think*
(Ubuntu being a Debian derivative, and this works on Debian) you can
do
sudo update-alternatives --config vi
which will let you manually specify the binary to use. In this case,
it *should* point to vim.gtk, so if it doesn't, you can repoint it.
It would also help to know how the OP is invoking it: if Ping is
invoking it as "vim.gtk" to obtain the correct version information,
but then invokes it as "vi" or "vim", it might be using some other
binary.
