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.

Also, you can check /var/log/dpkg.log to see from which version you upgraded.
