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.
