Description Thomas Simmons 2021-06-11 01:47:09 UTC
Description of problem:
After updating vim-minimal and vim-filesystem to version 8.2.2956-1.fc34, I am receiving the message "E1187: Failed to source defaults.vim" when opening a file with vi. Performing a "dnf downgrade vim-minimal vim-filesystem" resolves the issue.

[thomas@focus-lnx ~]$ vi foobar 
E1187: Failed to source defaults.vim
Press ENTER or type command to continue

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vim-minimal-2:8.2.2956-1.fc34
vim-filesystem-2:8.2.2956-1.fc34

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update vim-minimal to v vim-minimal-2:8.2.2956-1.fc34
2. Open any file with vi 
3.

Actual results:
Receive the error/message "E1187: Failed to source defaults.vim" and must press enter to continue.

Expected results:
File should open without message or further input.
