If you open /etc/apt/sources.list, are the lines containing "jaunty universe" commented out? If they are, take out the comment and then do sudo apt-get update, and then try to install it again. If they're not commented out, I'd try sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install vim-full anyway.

Make sure you open sources.list using sudo, in case you need to edit out those comments.
