There are just two wrong linebreaks in the postinst script. Just correct /var/lib/dpkg/info/vim.postinst (or maybe vim-perl.postinst in your case) so that the update-alternatives call is exactly one line (use '\'), e.g.: update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/$i $i \ /usr/bin/vim 120 \ --slave /usr/share/man/man1/$i.1.gz $i.1.gz \ /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz Then call apt-get install vim-perl again, and it should install fine.
