It appears that there's a bug (vim/vim#3014) in that version of Vim. A workaround is to add set nocompatible to your .vimrc file.

[sudoyang]

Thanks! @cangiuli but I have nocompatible set already.

I do not know the mechanism but I fixed it by putting this statement "colorscheme solarized" to the very end of my .vimrc file and everything is normal. This link inspires me to do so. I guess the error message I got is due to it cannot find some required setting in advance. If anyone is very clear about why, it would be great to describe the mechanism. Thanks!

FYI, in case anyone else is having this problem, it looks like it was an issue with the Debian package, and can be resolved as described here: vim/vim#3014 (comment)

I am hitting the same issue on VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Dec 21 2016 17:10:41).
The problem occurs on changing the default location of my vimrc file. I am using vim -u to start vim and I get the above error. Also I am running this on mac osx mojave so it can't be a debian package.

I tried putting colorscheme solarized at the end of .vimrc but that didn't work either.

@Siddhant085
Check this please.
You can give it a try.
