Bug Description

In a fresh focal install/container, vim is uninstallable because version 2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.8 failed to build for vim, but the `all` packages did succeed.

```
$ docker run -ti --rm arm32v7/ubuntu:focal bash -c 'apt update && apt install vim-tiny'

Argh that shouldn't have happened. I've retried both the builds (it looks like they failed because of infrastructure issues), hopefully that will fix it.
