https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/ed9829038751fab208ed07a97a35fa3168edae93 changed some logic about how vim-core and vim handle which package owns the defaults.vim file. Unfortunately, the logic and order-of-operations can leave a box with no copy of defaults.vim at all. On boxes where both vim-core and vim get updated, where package vim-core previously provided defaults.vim, the logic now works like this: 1) vim-core's src_install checks that defaults.vim already exists on the system, finds it, so deletes its own working copy. 2) vim-core is merged to the filesystem, and the old version is cleaned up. That includes removing the copy of defaults.vim that the previous vim-core owned, with no replacement because of #1. 3) vim's src_install installs defaults.vim only if USE=minimal _and_ the file isn't already present. It was just removed in #2, but unless USE=minimal, vim's ebuild will never deploy defaults.vim These particular changes were made without a revbump, so it's entirely possible to see different behavior between different boxes w/the same vim, vim-core versions. Once in this state, reinstalling the same version of vim-core will fix things, because its src_install will find that there is no defaults.vim present, and install it. Then if you rebuild again, the file vanishes again...
Yeah, src_install should not change the set of installed files based on the live filesystem. That's quite buggy.
