Hello,

Is that all the output you get? And if anything, just install the dependencies it is asking for. If you run into any problems, let us know, and post the full output of the errors.

Cheers,

Josh

hi josh

From the command line, run the following:
After performing that, let me know if the python-gtk2 package installed, or is already installed. From that point after letting me know what happens, I should be able to steer you in the proper direction in order to get this resolved. If it installs though, try installing gimp again, and let me know what happens.

this is the terminal output...

After performing that, let me know if that helps. I run fedora on my laptop, and I don't have apt-get installed on my system.

This seems like a so simple problem.....

That should do it. If not, then it might be something with corrupted files, and/or a problem with the package coming from the repos.

Try the following:
I really don't know why this package is giving you so much trouble. Any one else on this matter?

thanks again josh...anyone care to fill in...

Not sure why you're encountering dependency problems. I've been running 64-bit Natty with an LXDE desktop since the alpha release. No problems installing GIMP via synaptic. There's something screwy going on with dependency resolution. I've got libgegl-0.0-0 installed, but not libgtk-3-0. Dependencies listed for libgegl-0.0-0 are:Hope I copied them correctly. I'd try installing the dependencies, one at a time using apt-get, then do an
