Whenever I try to install the vim package the following error appears. What should I do?

Failed to fetch  http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/v/vim/vim-runtime_7.3.547-4ubuntu1.1_all.deb
 404  Not Found

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

    That package version is for Ubuntu 12.10 (see LP). 12.10 has reached end-of-life. See askubuntu.com/questions/91815/… on instructions for upgrading.

  • Was there a network connectivity issue when this was attempted? If so, that needed to be checked and usually then running apt-get update would resolve the matter like the error indicates.

Try clear vim and install again:

sudo apt-get remove vim-common
sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get purge
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vim
