apt-cache search vim | grep ^vim

shows me 18 packages. I think

sudo apt-get install vim

will get you a full-featured terminal vim and will also install the
dependencies. If you want gvim, you'll need the vim-gnome or
vim-gtk package as well.

In your original post you wrote that you were "looking for
filetype.vim to change the default asm to nasm." I hope you weren't
modifying $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim, which is probably
/usr/share/vim/vim74/filetype.vim on your system. If you do that,
your changes will be lost when upgrading to a new version of vim and
may be lost when upgrading to a new patchlevel. A better place to
put such changes is in /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/filetype.vim
($VIM/vimfiles/filetype.vim) to make them visible to other users on
the system or in ~/.vim/filetype.vim to make them visible to only
you.

See

:help 43.2
:help new-filetype

for how to do that.

Gary
