Have you tried upgrading your packages? Look at the man page for apt-get and run the appropriate command for the packages, that might be your problem. Now that I think about it, you just might need to do that, since the output is telling you that the package is there to be upgraded.

now what...any other suggestions...

I guess I have an alternate solution

I had 10.10 installed. I upgraded my box to 11.04
It automatically removed gimp during upgrade. When I tried to install it, it showed following error.

Code:

Package dependencies cannot be resolved

This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.



Detail

The following packages have unmet dependencies:



gimp: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.11) but 2.13-0ubuntu13 is to be installed

      Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.8.0) but 2.8.0-2.1ubuntu3 is to be installed

      Depends: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0) but 2.23.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed

      Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.24.0) but 2.28.6-0ubuntu1 is to be installed

      Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.20.0) but 2.24.4-0ubuntu2 is to be installed

      Depends: libjpeg62 (>= 6b1) but 6b1-1ubuntu1 is to be installed

      Depends: librsvg2-2 (>= 2.26.0) but 2.32.1-0ubuntu3 is to be installed

      Depends: libxfixes3 (>= 1:4.0.1) but 1:4.0.5-1ubuntu1 is to be installed

      Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) but 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu3 is to be installed

      Depends: python (>= 2.7) but 2.7.1-0ubuntu5 is to be installed

      Depends: python-gtk2 (>= 2.8.0) but 2.22.0-0ubuntu1 is to be installed

Following error occurred when I tried installing using terminal

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 gimp : Depends: libgimp2.0 (<= 2.6.11-z) but 2.7.3-2011021801~mm is to be installed

        Depends: gimp-data (<= 2.6.11-z) but 2.7.3-2011021801~mm is to be installed

E: Broken packages

I then thought of installing unstable version 2.7 with single window support.
Here is what I did:

Code:

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn/ubuntu natty main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 405A15CB

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install gimp

and mast ! it worked :)

Quote:

"mast" is a hindi word for expressing excitement (not that excitement) and happyness.

Even though it now works there should be no reason to use a PPA for GIMP. Have you checked what is enabled in software sources? GIMP isn't in Main anymore from memory so if you haven't enabled Universe and Multiverse you may not be able to install GIMP easily as the dependencies may also not be in Main or Restricted.

thanks rahul. i am from bangladesh. and i know hindi pretty well. must be the seirials...;) but still no gimp...looks like with natty i hv to skip gimp and chrome...sad really sad...
