Since 8.2.3755-1, Vim has given me an error message about being

I do not see this message with 8.2.0486-1. Notably, vi --version for
the last two updates tell me that the user vimrc file is
"/home/Marco/.virc", rather than "$HOME/.virc". [snip]
Depends on what you are really using, my vim is the alias of vi, and the
"user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc", not .virc
$ which vi
/usr/bin/vi
$ type vi
vi is aliased to `vim'
$ vi --version

My guess is that one of those files have changed things up.
Also I think vim detects that it was called with an alias, and may
behave differently.
