Hi, it cannot be reproducible for other, since you did not mention which steps you exactly made. It's good that you updated your repositories, but you did not mention how you updated the repositories. Did you use a GUI, did you do it by command line? The best practise is to run from command line... >>Any help would be appreciated >Maybe try > apt-get dist-upgrade ...don't follow instructions that don't try to troubleshoot, but just try to tinker and consider to use the official Ubuntu command line package management tool apt first. IOW run sudo apt update Are there any warnings and/or error messages? If so, copy and paste the command and it's output to an email.

Btw. for what purpose do you need the libgegl-dev package? FWIW there at least is no version conflict, see libgegl-dev (0.3.4-1ubuntu2) https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libgegl-dev libgegl-0.3-0 (0.3.4-1ubuntu2) https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libgegl-0.3-0. sudo apt update sudo apt install gimp Copy and paste the command and it's output. The output will show us the reason for the conflict, so we could tell you what to do, to get rid of the conflict. If you copy a command and it's output, then please don't (auto-)wrap the lines. >FWIW, Xubuntu16.04 is at end of life site you might upgrade first and >go from tbere. Any reference for that claim? Xubuntu is an official Ubuntu flavour, so EOL of 16.04 is April 2021, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases. Not all repositories are maintained in the same way, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories, but that doesn't mean that the dependency chain is allowed to be inconsistent.
