This is a meta-bug to describe a problem many people are filing bugs about. The bug is that when you run vim after updating to 6.2, it gives this error: $ vim Error detected while processing /etc/vim/vimrc: line 54: E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/vim61/syntax/syntax.vim The problem is that VIMRUNTIME was set in /etc/env.d by previous versions of the vim ebuild. In the current vim ebuilds, it is not set at all, since the binary already knows where its data files live. The effect for users is that you must do the following: 1. For any currently-running terminals, unset VIMRUNTIME 2. For any new terminals in the current X session, you will need to unset VIMRUNTIME. This is because your new terminals will inherit the old VIMRUNTIME setting from the parent environment. 3. Eventually, when you logout of X and back in, the bogus VIMRUNTIME setting will disappear. You should be all set at that point. Hopefully this problem won't appear again because we're no longer setting VIMRUNTIME in the environment, so updates of vim (regardless of version changes) should be smooth. Sorry for the inconvenience this time.
Marking CANTFIX since we have no way around this problem at present.
