Thread: vim-gtk not upgradeable (depends on newer than available vim-gui-common)

on ubuntu 12.04 (apt sources include precise-updates, did not hold packages far know):

erik@jojda:~$ sudo apt-get install vim-gtk
...
following packages have unmet dependencies:
vim-gtk : depends: vim-gui-common (= 2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2.1) 2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2 installed
depends: vim-common (= 2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2.1) 2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2 installed
depends: vim-runtime (= 2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2.1) 2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2 installed
e: unable correct problems, have held broken packages.

when @ version of vim-gui-common available:

erik@jojda:~$ dpkg -l vim-gui-common
...
ii vim-gui-common 2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2 vi improved - common gui files

when @ ubuntu web site:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/e...vim-gui-common lists vim-gui-common (2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2)

http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-u...vim-gui-common lists vim-gui-common (2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2.1)

when /var/lib/apt/lists/* don't see package listed @ (following command returns nothing: grep '^package: vim-gui-common' /var/lib/apt/lists/*)

tried sudo apt-get clean , sudo apt-get check,. tried remove /var/lib/apt-lists , rerun sudo apt-get update (files recreated), didn't help.

why apt-get think last version of vim-gui-common 2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2 , not 2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2.1?

ideas how troubleshoot further? thanks!
