I have this issue when I search to install Gimp:



$ 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: libgimp2.0 (>= 2.10.18) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgimp2.0 (<= 2.10.18-z) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgegl-0.4-0 (>= 0.4.22) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Nothing change after apt update & upgrade.
Do you have a solution for me? Thanks to



Best,

One solution is to use aptitude. It is generally smarter than apt-get at resolving dependencies.



First, install aptitude:



sudo apt-get install aptitude


Then install Gimp using aptitude:



sudo aptitude install gimp


And then after running that, Gimp should be installed.
