Re: not able to install gimp

The reason is simple. Hardy, Hardy updates and Hardy backports has Gimp 2.4.5 and 2.4.6
If you want Gimp 2.6.6 you should try Jaunty.

Look at packages.ubuntu,com

Search for "gimp" - not the box below the search box is for distribution. Try hardy, hardy updates, hardy backports and see the version of gimp.
Try Jaunty instead of Hardy and there is the current version of gimp.
