Debian Lenny VIM broken dependency

Today I ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade on my Debian Lenny installed on WD MyBook as I ussually do. It removed VIM (I let it as I thought it was just replaced by another package). I tried to run vim after the upgrade but it was really uninstalled. Trying to install it again by apt-get install I got

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  vim: Depends: vim-runtime (= 1:7.1.293-3)
         but 1:7.1.293-3+lenny1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I tried to uninstall vim-runtime. It didn't help. I don't have time to solve it now so I can't give a solution. If you encountered the same problem and have a solution to this problem, I'd really appretiate your comment.

It's quite sad that Debian repository is not consistent and one gets errors using apt-get.
