I have updated my vim to 8.1.0037 (vim --version showed compiled 13th June), and when I opened it today multiple plugins are broken.
on a restart and reinstall all these plugins, they are still broken.
Any direction? it seems to me that the update has broken the plugins.
my .vimrc looks like:
filetype plugin indent on
syntax on
set number
set encoding=utf-8
autocmd vimenter * NERDTree /home/myname
map <F4> :NERDTreeToggle<CR>
autocmd bufenter * if (winnr("$") == 1 && exists("b:NERDTree") && b:NERDTree.isTabTree()) | q | endif
error messages looks like below.

tl;dr: Fixed by version 2:8.1.0061-0york1~16.04
It seems the updated version 2:8.1.0037+v8.1.0053-0~ubuntu16.04.1 packages from jonathonf's vim PPA have an issue. In particular it seems to be vim-tiny and vim-common which are now putting some files in /usr/share/vim/vim810037+v81/ instead of /usr/share/vim/vim81/
I was able to fix the problem (a stopgap measure and I'm not sure how it will work once the packages are fixed) by:
sudo cp /usr/share/vim/vim810037+v81/debian.vim /usr/share/vim/vim81/
then edit and change the runtimepath
sudo vim /usr/share/vim/vim81/debian.vim
:%s/vim810037+v81/vim81/
:wq
