Package: vim-runtime
Version: 2:8.2.3995-1
Severity: normal

Upstream changed matchit.vim in commit fa3b72348 to not accept "." as
concatination anymore (updating scriptversion to 4). However, they
forgot to change all "." to "..".

This is a upstream bug still in the master branch.

The following patch will fix that:
