this was the same error i got and fixed with sudo ln -s /usr/share/vim/vim72 /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent but i'm told this vimcurrent stuff will go away soon, and another user on bbs has a line one could put in ~/.vimrc to fix this as well... cant remember it now though. up to you how to proceed. cheers.

Listmates,
Attempting to enable syntax in vim, I received the following:
Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/syntax.vim: line 42: E216: No such group or event: filetypedetect BufRead Press ENTER or type command to continue
It has always worked before, so this is something new.
