app-editors/vim 8.2.3428-r1 prints out a warning on missing file, when it is built with USE="minimal" and `app-editors/vim-core` is not installed. ``` $ vim E1187: Failed to source defaults.vim Press ENTER or type command to continue ``` vim tries to load /usr/share/vim/defaults.vim , which does not exist. After pressing Enter, vim works well. But it is annoying for most users. Other distros have similar issues like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1969936 . According to that, 8.2.2932 or newer has the issue with vim-minimal. Unlike the comment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1969936#c6 , I think setting "let skip_defaults_vim = 1" in config does not work in Gentoo. I think the most straightforward way to resolve this issue is to explicitly install /usr/share/vim/defaults.vim, as done in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/vim/c/6a934f62de5b7be6af1d14174aa9049b9ea8d027?branch=rawhide .
Thanks for the report & background. I agree, it seems easiest to just install that file. I'll add that.
Ugh, so.. vim-core installs /usr/share/vim/vim82/defaults.vim?

I'm now getting this same error about failing to source defaults.vim after installing app-editors/vim-8.2.4328. I do _not_ have USE=minimal, and vim-core 8.2.4328 is installed as well. The file /usr/share/vim/defaults.vim does not exist, and "equery b /usr/share/vim/defaults.vim" does not return anything. "equery f app-editors/vim-core" does not list this file, so it appears that vim-core no longer installs it. Should this issue be reopened? I could create a new issue if that's better.
I rolled back to 8.2.3741, and I no longer get the error about missing defaults. I was expecting to find that the file /usr/share/vim/defaults.vim had been restored, but it actually still does not exist even though the warning is gone.
