This looks a bit like #348661. If this is the same problem as #348661, then you chose not to accept the maintainer version (or perform a merge) of /etc/vim/vimrc when upgrading. Running ":set runtimepath?" in vim will likely have /usr/share/vim/vim64 (or vim63 depending on what you upgraded from) instead of /usr/share/vim/vim70.
You'll probably also have an
/etc/vim/vimrc.dpkg-new or .dpkg-dist which is the newer maintainer version of the file.
Nope, it isn't that -- I think I have the latest /etc/vim/vimrc (no -new or -dist versions, just -old) md5sum /etc/vim/vimrc 080bf1170946fa1c181ba69a74522435 My runtime path is pretty weird: runtimepath=~/.vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,~/.vim/after I guess that's being set by the old binary that's in /usr/bin/vim strings /usr/bin/vim | grep vimfiles ~/.vim,$VIM/vimfiles,$VIMRUNTIME,$VIM/vimfiles/after,~/.vim/after Maybe the install scripts should check for old redirects on /usr/bin/vim and remove them? Also, you can check /var/log/dpkg.log to see from which version you
upgraded.
Very useful to know :). The output of: cd /var/log ; zgrep vim `ls --sort=time dpkg*` is at http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/bugs/vim-upgrades.gz I think it was the 2006-10-11 upgrades that caused the problem. -- Peter
