Yes, that was it. Note I was using the default zilerc that came with 2.2.13-1.
It's likely that many other users have some variant of the old ~/.zile and run
into problems. Given the situation, I think some warning should be added. Some
suggestions:
- Detect the old syntax and abort.
- Add a debconf warning (with high priority) to the package, explaining the
situation.
