Problem Description
Embedded developers should be the most familiar with vim, but have you ever encountered the problem that you need to install vim by yourself in the Ubuntu just installed and the installation always fails? I encountered it. The problem is shown in the picture below.
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.
This problem can be directly located to the source, and it should be solved by updating the source.

Command two: sudo apt-get clean
Command three: sudo apt-get update The process is long, wait patiently. . . . . .
Command four: sudo apt-get install vim can be successful (I was successful anyway, hahaha) At
this time, knock vim again and see if it is OK
