I found my apt-update procedures failed because of a failing dependency regarding vim, thus
uninstalling vim and reinstalling is a good way to help with the blocked update packages.

If you install 3rd party packages that can break things, yes. Something else that might have worked could possibly have been to install the updated vim over the top of the already installed one without going and removing it.
