Package: vim Version: 1:7.0-017+2 Severity: normal Hi, I just upgraded vim from 6.4 to 7. I used to use vim from the command line calling only 'vi', not 'vim'.
Now, using 'vi', it starts vim using compatible mode, which I don't want to use. There is a /etc/vim/virc where it is said that this file is used when vim is invoked as vi. But adding options in there such as: set nocompatible syntax enable set background=dark Doesnt work. If I run vi, then type :set nocompatible :syntax enable :set background=dark it works, so the problem is not in vim. It's like the file isn't used, while the header says it should.
