  do you still experience the bug ?

  if yes, can you reproduce it with :

    vim -u NONE -U NONE

  and then type in vim :

    :syntax on


  on my box, I cannot reproduce the problem.


MAYBE AN EXPLANATION :

  this can happen if you didn't upgrade your /etc/vim/{g,}vimrc that
should have in the firsts lines :

  set runtimepath=3D~/.vim,/etc/vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vi=
m/addons,/usr/share/vim/vim63,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/addo=
ns/after,~/.vim/after

  since syntax/syntax.vim now lives in /usr/share/vim/vim63

  If you don't have /usr/share/vim/vim63 in the runpath, then the prolem
is here


  non vimrc upgrade may come from the fact that you locally modified
/etc/vim/{g,}vimrc and that you refused to apply maintainer changes to
the file.  if it is the case, please consider using
/etc/vim/{g,}vimrc.local to put your changes in (the files are
auto-saved) and then, if you have (and I guess they will exists) some
/etc/vim/{g,}vimrc.dpkg-new, please consider using them to replace your
current /etc/vim/{g,}vimrc files.

Cheers,
