Package: vim
Version: 1:7.0-017+6
Severity: important
Vim reports the following when run:
Error detected while processing /home/adam/.vimrc:
line 15:
E484: Can't open file /usr/local/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim
Press ENTER or type command to continue
Backspace key doesn't work, and numerous other small problems.
Possibly due to incorrect default runtime directory.
Output of ":version" :
<snip>
system vimrc file: "$VIM/vimrc"
user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc"
user exrc file: "$HOME/.exrc"
system gvimrc file: "$VIM/gvimrc"
user gvimrc file: "$HOME/.gvimrc"
system menu file: "$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim"
fall-back for $VIM: "/usr/local/share/vim"
<snip>
The last line indicates the culprit.
Workaround is to add this to your shell config file (~/.bashrc):
export VIMRUNTIME=/usr/share/vim/vim70
and restart your shell or X session.
