First take a look in the faq <http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#cant-upgrade> Second do what the faq tells you Third run again a 'sudo apt-get update' and see what happens, (Fourth if you still get an error try 'sudo /sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/update-package-prebinding.pl -f' in the terminal and repeat step three) Fourth type 'sudo apt-get install gimp'. This should download gimp and all its needed depencies as binaries. If this fail post the error here on this list or try installing gimp from source by typing 'fink install gimp'. Again gimp and it's depencies are shown to you, confirm this information and wait a few hours or so - depending on how fast your Mac is. If errors occure during build process post them here.
