[SOLVED] vim upgrade, error in /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/syntax.vim

running [testing] on 64bit

upgraded vim (7.2.218-1 -> 7.2.234-1) and my .vimrc now has no effect.  no errors immediately present but when i :source it from inside vim i get this error:

Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/syntax.vim:
line   42:
E216: No such group or event: filetypedetect BufRead

that bit in question is

" Execute the syntax autocommands for the each buffer.
" If the filetype wasn't detected yet, do that now.
" Always do the syntaxset autocommands, for buffers where the 'filetype'
" already was set manually (e.g., help buffers).
doautoall syntaxset FileType
if !s:did_ft
  doautoall filetypedetect BufRead "<--- line 42
endif

and it's the same as it was my month-old backups of /usr

probably something dumb, any ideas for a fix?

thanks in advance.

dammit, just saw the ML posting... a simple symlink fixed it

sudo ln -s /usr/share/vim/vim72/ /usr/share/vim/vimcurrent

solved.
