How do I install Gimp 2.7?

The following thing did it for some reason.

It seemed like the problem was a gimp-data 2.7 package, that was still installed after I removed the ppa ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn .

After I removed this package and then removed the ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn it installed gimp 2.6 immediately.

I tried to add the ppa again (to install 2.7, because I made a file with that and need to open it - which doesn't work with 2.6), but always got an error about a missing libbabl.0.so.0 file (although it was installed).

I also tried this ppa which I stumbled upon: https://launchpad.net/~alex-p/+archive/notesalexp-oneiric

I also checked the list of sources when I do an apt-get update, but it's not even in there.

At least I have one gimp.

But if somebody knows a trick that is worth trying, I'd love to hear it. (it has gimp 2.73 in it, but when I add it and also activate it nothing happens)

Try to install it again using this PPA: ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn

I installed GIMP this way without unmet dependencies problems.
