/usr/bin/vi: errors parsing .vim files from vim-common package

I just updated vim packages (including vim-minimal and vim-common) to 9.0.2155-1

Now when I run 'vi', I get this:

Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim90/filetype.vim:
line   11:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: let did_load_filetypes = 1
line   14:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: let s:cpo_save = &cpo
line   48:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: func s:StarSetf(ft)
line   52:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: endfunc
line 2941:
E319: Sorry, the command is not available in this version: func TestFiletypeFuncs(testlist)
 .
 .
and so on.


Running '/usr/bin/vim' does not produce those errors (not surprisingly).  This happens even if I use 'env HOME=/ /usr/bin/vi' (just to try to remove home dir dot files from the question).
