An important piece of info from the second of those three links:
Quote:
GIMP 2.3 must not be installed in the same prefix as other GIMP 2.x versions. If you want to keep your GIMP 2.2 or GIMP 2.0 installation in parallel to GIMP 2.3, you have to choose a separate installation prefix at compile-time and ensure that you use different library search paths for each version. If you do not set up your environment differently for each version, you will experience conflicts with the libraries and at least one version is likely to fail.
The major distributions will not always put the most bleeding-edge SW in their repositories. And--assuming Debian doesn't have it, I doubt if a SUSE or Fedora repo would be much help.
I'm having an interesting problem...this is my message:

Dude,
It's funny but I'm installing an old machine of mine and I got the same error from apt-get. Which repos did you leave and which did you delete (if you don't mind me asking).
Well, honesty being good for us all, I don't know. I am writing for my friend, but what he told me was that you need to remove a few unstable or experimental repos that you don't use, and it'll work.
