After installing Ubuntu 12.04 (clean install) I fetch a bunch of program via synaptic (installed specially), all programs worked except Gimp 2.8. So I tried purging Gimp, install again (no luck). Checked broken packages and reinstalled them. When using the Software center I get this MSG:



Failed to fetch http://is.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openexr/libopenexr6_1.6.1-4.1_amd64.deb Size mismatch


Tried also this:



sudo apt-get purge gimp*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp


And get this MSG:



Failed to fetch http://is.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openexr/libopenexr6_1.6.1-4.1_amd64.deb  Size mismatch
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?


I am wondering if the Icelandic Archive has an outdated version or something?



would really like to install Gimp 2.8 but Gimp 2.6 is OK to.



I am also wondering if I am doing something wrong?
