Ubuntu 20.04 error on install gimp : Depends: libgimp2.0 (>= 2.10.18) but it is not going to be installed [duplicate]

Solution 1:

One solution is to use aptitude. It is generally smarter than apt-get at resolving dependencies.

First, install aptitude:

sudo apt-get install aptitude

Then install Gimp using aptitude:

sudo aptitude install gimp

And then after running that, Gimp should be installed.

I would recommend installing Gimp as a flatpak, as the flatpak is maintained by the gimp developers.

sudo apt install flatpak

flatpak install flathub org.gimp.GIMP

and to run

flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP
