Following the Release Notes, the upgrade went rather smoothly. A couple
of things got "tweaked," however. The first, most obvious is the
behavior of vi:



The default settings for vi have been changed. Display looks weird in
terms of colors, etc. Can't figure what vi/vim file needs changing. I
have backups of course of all pre-upgrade config files. I've tried using
the "old" /etc/vim/vimrc, but no change.



Thanks,

-Ron

If youv've installed vim 7, try to edit /etc/vim/vimrc and check
if 'runtimepath' contains '/usr/share/vim/vim70'. If not, try add
it.
IIRC, I resolved a problem related by doing this.(On our machines,
we've got runtimepath set to
~/.vim,/etc/vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/addons,/usr/share/vim/vim70,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,
/usr/share/vim/addons/after,~/.vim/after)

Another thing to check is which vim is installed. I believe the
default in Etch is vim-tiny, in which a number of useful features are
unavailable.
