vim is already the newest version (2:7.4.1689-3ubuntu1.3).
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python3 : Depends: dh-python but it is not installable
 python3-setuptools : Depends: python3-pkg-resources (= 20.7.0-1) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

further tried to run apt-get -f install vim but again same error.

    The output says that you already have vim installed!
    Run sudo apt-get -f install without vim to fix the issues.     – singrium Feb 18 '20 at 09:46
  • I would check your sources (you didn't provide release details, but it looks like xenial), and your python3 version (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=python3-setuptools shows correct source for xenial thus check sources, https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=python3, https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=vim) – guiverc Feb 18 '20 at 09:58

First, you have vim installed, and it is the newest version. You don't need to install it.

Second, you have some issues with Python packages. To solve them:
- Run sudo apt-get -f install then run sudo dpkg --configure -a. Finally, run sudo apt-get -f install.
- If the problem is not solved, run sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3

If not worked after sudo apt-get -f install, run the command sudo apt-get update to update.
