This is not a bug. See Yaakov's announcement in the list on May 12,
"[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: vim-7.3.943-1". He explains that the
packaging scheme has been changed and that /usr/bin/vi is now Vim
compiled with the "small" feature set. The "small" feature set does
not include the +syntax or +eval feature and does not support either
the :syntax or :let command.
Not a bug maybe but a strange thing to do. I just installed a completely
unrelated package (p7zip) which just happened to drag in the latest version
of vim. Suddenly I start seeing these E319 messages and the syntax
highlighting has gone. Luckily I found the answer here via Google but I bet
you're going to see a lot more people hit by this!
Running 'setup.exe' without any parameters updates all installed packages
by default. Users can always elect to "keep" the installed version of any
package however.
