After a fresh install of the system, I cannot install a package, I always get an error:

# apt install vim
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package vim is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'vim' has no installation candidate

After a system apt update, all goes well.

# apt install vim

As the installer require a network connection, why not update the apt cache at the end of the install? debian-pi/raspbian-ua-netinst was working this way.
