Hi

I encountered this problem as well but the proposed solution doesn't
appear to work for me.

I'm using:
ii  vim                  6.4-007+1       Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor
ii  vim-common           6.4-007+1       Vi IMproved - Common files
ii  vim-doc              6.4-007+1       Vi IMproved - HTML documentation
rc  vim-gtk              6.3-071+1sarge1 Vi IMproved - GTK2 Version
ii  vim-latexsuite       0.20041219-2    brings the LaTeX power to Vim
ii  vim-runtime          6.4-007+1       Vi IMproved - Runtime files

/etv/vim/vimrc contains:
set runtimepath=~/.vim,/usr/share/vim/addons,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vimcurrent,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/usr/share/vim/addons/after,~/.vim/after

but when I call :set all in vim I get the following for runtimepath:
runtimepath=~/.vim,/etc/vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/addons, /usr/share/vim/vim63,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/addons/after, ~/.vim/after 

/usr/share/vim/vim63 did not exist but after creating a symlink to
vim64 syntax highlighting worked again.

I believe I answered no to "installing maintainer version" but
dpkg-reconfigure -p low vim doesn't ask me any questions so I can't
check or modify this setting.

How else can I check and/or change this?

Regards

Bram
