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:
$ 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
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
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

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
$ apt-cache policy vim

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