About problem:
When I want to use Vim, I have this error:
Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim82/suse.vimrc[10]../usr/share/vim/vim82/syntax/syntax.vim[42]..BufRead Autocommands for "*"..script /usr/share/vim/vim82/scripts.vim: line 30: E117: Unknown function: dist#script#DetectFiletype Press ENTER or type command to continue
When I press enter, Vim normally runs.

Something about my OS:
OS: GeckoLinux Rolling (based on openSUSE Tumbleweed)
platform: x86_64
kernel: 5.16.8-1-default

Please check the value of 'runtimepath'.
In one of the directories there should be autoload/dist/script.vim
Does it start with "vim9script" ?

also, this might be a packaging issue. Can you try with a self-compiled version from this repository instead of using your distribution package?

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed here, I can confirm that in /usr/share/vim/vim82/autoload/dist/ directory, there is only one file ft.vim, but in arch linux there is also a file named script.vim .

This should be a packaging issue in openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Just for anyone that finds this with the same error, on openSUSE you need to install vim-data which contains the missing file.

wondering why it wasn't installed by default. That should have been a dependency
