Run 'apt-get install vim' and it should work.
I'm guessing that /usr/bin/vim is really a symlink to the vim in /etc/alternatives/vim. running update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/vim.tiny or which ever vim you have installed would work. Although, its probably just easier to just run update-alternatives --config editor and select which one you want.
