The fix worked for me too. Thanks. STEP 1: Run # dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/gimp_2.4.0~rc3-1ubuntu5_i386.deb
this will overwrite the conflicting file and then give unmet dependencies error. STEP 2: Since conflict has already been resolved (forcefully), proceed with normal installation Run : # apt-get -f install -- package gimp 2.4.0~rc3-1ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/doc/libgimp2.0/README', which is also in package libgimp2.0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148985 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
