I ran the following command to fix the problem:

rootamnesia:~# apt install ikiwiki libyaml-syck-perl vim-addon-manager powerline vim-nox fonts-powerline perlmagick po4a python3-powerline@

This command caused ruby2.5_2.5.5-3+deb10u1_amd64.deb to be fetched:

Get:1 tor+http://sgvtcaew4bxjd7ln.onion buster/updates/main amd64 ruby2.5 amd64 2.5.5-3+deb10u1 [400 kB]
Fetched 400 kB in 4s (109 kB/s)

Now, below is the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/. Note the addition of ruby2.5_2.5.5-3+deb10u1_amd64.deb.

Note: I did not first try rebooting to fix the problem. I instead only ran the apt install command, above.
