Hi
I'm trying to install GIMP 2.8 into Ubuntu 12.04, where the default version
is 2.6.1.
All the advice I can find seems to be essentially the same, namely:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp
Each time I try this I just get 2.6.1 installed, regardless. It strikes me
that the default version must still be in the list of standard repositories.
I'm reluctant to mess around with this list without knowing the effects. I
use Synaptic all the time, but without a detailed understanding of how it
works behind the scenes e.g resolving dependencies. Consequently I don't
what to make a change to the repository lists which might screw things up.
First try
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
If that does not do it then what do you see if you run, in a terminal
apt-cache policy gimp
and post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list

PPA's should create a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
This ppa creates on at
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/otto-kesselgulasch-gimp-precise.list
I think

Any advice?
