missing gimp re-install on 64-bit? (RESOLVED)

[riffraff]

I had gimp up and running on 9.04-amd64, and now it's gone. I think it may have disappeared during an update/upgrade. Anyway, attempting to re-install it results in this:

$ sudo apt-get install gimp
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gimp: Depends: python-support (>= 0.90.0) but 0.8.7ubuntu4 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Attempting to re-install python-support says it's already at the newest version.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: missing gimp re-install on 64-bit?

Do you have the Kubuntu 9.04 (this post is under Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope)


With the 9.04:

> Package: gimp (2.6.6-0ubuntu1)

Depends:
...
python-support (>= 0.7.1)
...

and the > Package: python-support (0.8.7ubuntu4)


Is your gimp a backport (from a PPA repository) ?


With the 9.10:

> Package: gimp (2.6.7-1ubuntu1)

Depends:
...
python-support (>= 0.90.0)
...

and the > Package: python-support (1.0.3ubuntu1)


What tells:

apt-cache search python-support

With the 9.10:

Package: python-support
Priority: standard
Section: python
Installed-Size: 208
...
Version: 1.0.3ubuntu1

Re: missing gimp re-install on 64-bit?

I had a whole long response written here where I would show the dpkg logs and what had happened to the upgrades and all, and the repository list...but...

When I looked at the repositories list, I found some odd entries amongst all the jaunty references:

             
Hit [url]http://archive.getdeb.net[/url] karmic-getdeb Release.gpg                                  
Ign [url]http://archive.getdeb.net[/url] karmic-getdeb/apps Translation-en_US                             
Hit [url]http://archive.getdeb.net[/url] karmic-getdeb Release                                    
Hit [url]http://archive.getdeb.net[/url] karmic-getdeb/apps Packages

Don't know how I managed that, but after removing all the karmic entries, I was able to finally re-install the gimp (2.6.6) Another brain-fart, I guess.
