[Bug 1613949] Re: vim-gtk3 Has Unmet Dependencies After `apt-get upgrade` In Ubuntu 16.04.1 Xenial
Mr. Murray, Without having yet added "universe-updates" (or anything else) to my /etc/apt/sources.list file, I went ahead and ran `apt-get update` and `apt-cache policy vim-gtk3` again, now it looks like things have been fixed (enough) for me to move forward as-is. AND IT WORKS! Unfortunately, it only works because of the passage of time (and things being fixed upstream, presumably); it WAS a problem when I originally created this ticket, and specifically that problem is that the default sources.list fails to include the proper "xenial-updates" lines. There are 2 files which may be significant, "sources.list" and the older "sources.list.save" files. I will attach "sources.list", and their diff is below. Perhaps this bug report should be re-filed with the people who are in charge of the default "/etc/apt/sources.list" files???

PS - I found the deb URL by the following steps: 1. Visit http://packages.ubuntu.com/ 2. Search for "vim-gtk3" in xenial, which leads to http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=vim-gtk3=names=xenial=all 3. Select the package which leads to http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/vim-gtk3 4.

Hi Brian, The following 4 commands work on my system to actually run gvim, although as I said before this leaves the packages in a broken state, so I still go ahead and run the purge command at the end to remove the broken (but working) package for now, until a proper solution is in place. $ apt-get install liblua5.2 libruby2.3 $ wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/v/vim/vim-gtk3_7.4.1689-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb $ dpkg -i --force-depends ./vim-gtk3_7.4.1689-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb $ gvim $ dpkg --purge vim-gtk3 Does this answer your question?

[Bug 1613949] [NEW] vim-gtk3 Has Unmet Dependencies After `apt-get upgrade` In Ubuntu 16.04.1 Xenial
Public bug reported: I have a fresh install of Ubuntu v16.04.1, then I did an `apt-get upgrade` and it only had a few seemingly-minor packages to upgrade (don't remember the list, sorry). Apparently all the core vim packages have been upgraded to 2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.1 but vim-gtk3 (and all the other gvim-providing packages I tested) are still held back to 2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1 so there is a version mis-match. Now I get the following error: [[[ BEGIN PASTE ]]] root@machine:/# apt-get install vim-gtk3 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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-gtk3 : Depends: vim-common (= 2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1) but 2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.1 is to be installed Depends: vim-runtime (= 2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1) but 2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [[[ END PASTE ]]] However I can still get gvim working if I force the installation of the vim-gtk3 package using dpkg. Of course this is not a good solution, because it leaves my system in a state of seemingly-broken packages!
