Gimp 2.7.3

[Fintan]

I had been using gimp 2.7.3 on natty but cannot get it to install on oneric.

I got so used to the single window format that the "old" gimp seems like a step back.

I added this:

ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn

But had to change it to "natty" as "oneric didn't show anything.

"natty" showed gimp 2.7.3 and I tried to install. That had a dependency problem:

needs libgegl-0.0-0 but will not install....

Trying to that gave me other dependency issues so I gave up

I tried it from here:
https://launchpad.net/~alex-p/+archi...filter=oneiric

and got a different error message:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libgimp-2.0-0_2.7.3+git20111008-1ppa1~oneiric1_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libgimpthumb-2.0.so.0', which is also in package libgimp2.0 2.6.11-2ubuntu4

tried solving that but to no avail
