Thanks. I appreciate the help. I was able to install GIMP by some sort of brute force.
I re-added the getdeb third party source into Synaptic Package Manager as: deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu maverick-getdeb apps Adding the repository key, strangely didn't allow the app to install as signed: wget -q -O- http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add - I installed it via: http://www.getdeb.net/install/gimp/2.6.11-1%7Egetdeb1%7Emaverick which installs it via the Ubuntu Software Centre. But I am forced to accept it as unsigned. All-in-all, I see this as a problem with Synaptic Package Manager. I think it should be doing a better job here. There's obviously something in my config that is confusing it. And it's error messages aren't helpful. I suppose if a person was an expert with apt, they could figure it out. I could read up on it and learn. I just think Ubuntu should be a little more user friendly than that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683471 Title: Unable to install GIMP on Maverick -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
