Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation? I did a dist-upgrade which removed vim-tiny, tried to install vim and was met with errors
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)? 

user at debian:~$ apt install vim -s
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
      apt needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
