After running the latest update the following error occurs for me.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gimp : Depends: libgimp2.0 (<= 2.9.5~71-z) but 2.9.5~79-0x21~ppa~5170980 is installed
        Depends: gimp-data (<= 2.9.5~71-z) but 2.9.5~79-0x21~ppa~5170980 is installed

Running -f returns

Installing the required versions kept me in a constant loop. It requested libgimp2.0_2.9.5-71-0x0-ppa-00faf17 which requested libgegl0.3.0. Installing libgegl0.3.0 it request version 1:0.3.6.20 of libgegl, whose build files I could not find on launchpad of gimp-edge. So I was pretty much stuck at that point. -f did not work and installing different versions kept me in a loop so I did the following sudo apt-get purge --remove gimp gimp-gmic gimp-plugin-registry and installed all the packages which were on hold due to this issue (making sure Gimp does not install again).

Then installing Gimp via apt install again worked fine.

Seems like this should rather be reported to the gimp-edge PPA maintainer then: https://bugs.launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch

That version is now dead
