Thank you for your bug report. You were/are apparently using unofficial repositories (e.g. getdeb.net or ubuntuupdates.org) that are in conflict with the standard Ubuntu repositories. Remove those sources (in the Synaptic Package Manager: Settings --> Repositories, in the "Other Sources" tab) and press the reload button, you should then be able to install gimp.
