Firstly remove the Gimp 2.8 repository by running these commands:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

sudo ppa-purge ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp

and then run:

sudo apt-get update

Now remove the plugin-registry as it is not supported on 2.8:

sudo apt-get remove gimp-plugin-registry

Once that's done you can install Gimp 2.8:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install gimp
