I updated Vim from these packages

ubuntu's update popped up and said that a package is broken, I fired
up synaptic and clicked "Fix Broken Packages" and then "Apply" it
wanted to remove some packages these were "Ubuntu-base",
"ubuntu-minimal" and vim, Vim makes sense but ubuntu-base and minimal
don't. Anyone able to help me with my problem.

Ubuntu-base hasn't existed for a couple of releases. Ubuntu-minimal, meanwhile, is a metapackage that is non-essential for system operation.

Check that you haven't been using Automatix, etc; but ubuntu-minimal can be safely removed until you next upgrade (hopefully to Etch.)
