I have seen problems with daily images from: https://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/cdimage/
Was problems with vim, emacs, gdb... in previous days... I think but unsure I don't seems to see them now. Had tried previous monthly image, was also having vim and emacs installation problem. Now I see (I manually recopy because I don't know how to get the files on the host from Qemu): Unpacking dpkg 1.20.7.1 over 1.20.7.1: dpkg depends on hurd-libs0.3 (>= 1:0.9.git20201127); however dpkg depends on libz2-1.0 not installed dpkg depends on libc0.3 (>=2.29.8tilde) that is not installed dpkg depends on liblzma >=5.22 that is not installed ... zlib1g >= 1:1.14 ... ... tar >= 1.28-1 ... Later: vim depends on vim-common = 2:8.2.0716-3 but vim-common on system is 2:8.2.2367-1 same version problem for vim-runtime
