[Keir Lawson (keirlawson)]

Yup, i'm getting this as well

[Malaise (malaise)]

Me too.
As a workaround I have moved /usr/share/vim/vim71/ftplugin/ada.vim as a .old
This does not prevent Ada syntax highlightening.

[Sam H (samjh)]

Until a permanent solution is found:

Go to http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1609 and download the latest .vba archive.
As of time of writing, it is vba-4.5.0: http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=7686

Save the vba file to a place of your own choosing.

Fire up the vimball archive tool with superuser privileges. Example:
sudo vim ~/temp/vba-4.5.0

The vimball archive tool will open. Issue the so % command, thus:
:so %

It will install the Ada tool package for vim, including the correct syntax high-lighter.

Error confirmed, solution suggested. Needs the vim package maintainer(s) to check and implement solution.

[Sam H (samjh)]

Just noticed in my comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/152277/comments/3 I made an error.

To use the vimball archive, the example command should have been:
sudo vim ~/temp/ada.4.5.0.vba

[Sam H (samjh)]

Problem still not resolved in Hardy.

[Malaise (malaise)]

My workaround still applies to Hardy.

[Sam H (samjh)]

Didn't notice your workaround. Thanks. :) Confirmed it works!

just for the record:
inteprid vim (1:7.1.293-2ubuntu1) has the updated ada.vim.

$ grep date -A 2 /usr/share/vim/vim71/ftplugin/ada.vim

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

This was fixed in r745 of vim-ada-mode, and as noted it is fixed in Intrepid's vim.
