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.

vim-filesystem-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.
