I've just upgraded to Kubuntu 12.04 and having problems installing Gimp 2.8, I was wondering if anyone can help me?
I've followed these instructions:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp
but get this error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
gimp : Depends: libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 (>= 1.3.10) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I've tried running these and trying again with the same problems:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install
also running
sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
gives me this error
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 : Depends: libgail18 (>= 1.18.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
and then running
sudo apt-get install libgail18
gives me this error
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
libgail18 : Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.24.10-0ubuntu6) but 2.24.10-1oneiric6~ppa is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
The bit that caught my attention was but 2.24.10-1oneiric6~ppa is to be installed - but I don't know what to do with this. I've rebooted and the error messages are the same. Can anyone help?
** EDIT ** I've found someone with the same problem, unfortunately the link is in German so I can't completely understand what the solution (last post) is - here's the google translated link : http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwebcache.googleusercontent.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dcache%3A1U2Uat6XqUsJ%3Aforum.ubuntuusers.de%2Ftopic%2Fprobleme-nach-update-fehlerhafte-pakete-aus-on%2F%2B%26cd%3D3%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Duk&act=url
