Title:
  Getting dependency error when trying to install vim on noble chroot

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm getting dependency conflict when trying to install vim in Ubuntu
  noble chroot. The dependency version it wants is older then what is
  available in repositories. Running apt-get install vim fails with
  error as shown below:

  (chroot) $ sudo apt-get install vim

  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

  The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   vim : Depends: vim-common (= 2:9.1.0016-1ubuntu3) but 2:9.1.0016-1ubuntu6 is to be installed
         Depends: vim-runtime (= 2:9.1.0016-1ubuntu3) but 2:9.1.0016-1ubuntu6 is to be installed
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  Apt-cache policy shows older version of vim available while in
  launchpad the newer version is shown, also the amd64 package version
  2:9.1.0016-1ubuntu6 is missing from repositories, no amd64 deb within
  repository pool directory of repository files

  (chroot) $ apt-cache policy vim
  vim:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 2:9.1.0016-1ubuntu3
    Version table:
       2:9.1.0016-1ubuntu3 500
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates/main amd64 Packages

  If vim was installed before, it would be uninstalled by upgrading vim-
  common and vim-runtime

  My sources list file:

  (chroot) $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble main restricted universe multiverse
  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-security main restricted universe multiverse
  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates main restricted universe multiverse
