Reinstall Vim

Question

I am trying to reinstall vim in ubuntu 11.10, but I am having problems. From the software center, I click on the installation and I get an error message: "Failed to download package files. Check your Internet connection." My internet connection is ok.

Then I click OK, and this message appears: "Installation of untrusted packages is required." I click OK (the only option) and the installation stops. Does anyone know how I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Try it on the command line:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install vim gvim 

Answer 2

Before running commands from the @DiogoDoreto message, run

 sudo apt-get purge vim gvim 

Then run the update and install. Cleaning will clear all old configuration files and will usually fix the problem.
