We haven't done anything that would change how $VIMRUNTIME is set.

If the problem ends up being an upstream problem and not something with the packaging or a bad upgrade, we will forward your problem to the proper people. I have an idea of what your problem is, but this really isn't the place to discuss it. If you'd like to follow up with me privately, or file a bug I'll be more than willing to help. </Debian Vim maintainer hat> James -- GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
