 Current installation lack this and insert function is problematic at best, 
 barely usable. Rc-files look the same.
 
 What am I missing?

As far as I remember, the default vim is vim-tiny which lacks quite a
few nice features. Try installing vim or vim-nox and see if that
helps.

Fairly sure that vim-tiny has those features. I suggest the OP check the
Rc-files again and compare a good rc-file with one from a broken
system.

A *quick* google finds this:

oops, just checked and doesn't show % or line number but does indicate
whether in INSERT mode.
