whenever i try to execute vim, the terminal shows this: The program 'vim' can be found in the following packages:
* vim
* vim-gnome
* vim-tiny
* vim-athena
* vim-gtk
* vim-nox
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
So I tried what most of my classmates had done, sudo apt-get update
and sudo apt-get install vim
but it didn't work.
The terminal shows this message after I entered sudo apt-get install vim

Package vim is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'vim' has no installation candidate
Thanks for the answers
