That patch should have removed the colorresp plugin. Do you still have it?

Ok yeah, I still had it /usr/local/share/vim/vim91/plugin. I removed the file and the error is gone.
Thanks!

I still have the plugin when compiling from 115b533. I had to manually sudo rm -v /usr/local/share/vim/vim91/plugin/colorresp.vim to be able to launch vim without the errors.

Or you could uninstall vim and then install it:

$ sudo make uninstall
$ sudo make install

@habamax it's literally never occurred to me to attempt to uninstall vim(1) in any way for any reason. But good point, lol, and thank you. It makes me happy to have something cleaner than sudo rm in the issue thread.

It happened before, some kinds of the reason of why we should better reduce the duration of backout,
maximal 1 week like i said in another ticket recently (about the dev 'policy' about 'preinsert' hl),
otherwise some mess like this may happen.
