I had the same issue trying to (re)install vim-perl after a dist-upgrade. FYI, I can confirm that forcing the old versions of vim-gui-common, vim-common, and vim-runtime in Synaptic allowed me to reinstall vim-perl.

However, I noticed this...

  $ sudo apt-get update >/dev/null; apt-cache show vim-perl | grep Version
  Version: 1:7.0-164+1ubuntu7

... but packages.ubuntu.com lists the most recent version as 1:7.0-164+1ubuntu7.1 (And after redoing the dist-upgrade, I manually downloaded and install the .deb with dpkg -i with no errors.)

Since vim-perl and vim-gtk, but not the prerequisite vim-* packages, are in universe, I wonder if this might be (for me at least) a configuration issue with my sources.list.

Hope someone finds this helpful!
