For days, I have been trying to find a solution and repositories to install Gimp 2.8 on Ubuntu 11.10. Each time I get this error:

Tried to update pango via

sudo apt-get install pango-graphite
[sudo] password for xxx: 
Reading package lists... Done

pango-graphite is already the newest version.

Then also tried

sudo apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2*

And still error :(.

Please help as I do not want to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 just to have Gimp. Really a mission impossible????
