My kUbuntu 18.04 had KDE installed.
I wanted to try out wether it works with the ubuntu-unity-desktop.

I did not start Gimp to get this error occurring.
It just occurred.

The Release is Kubuntu 18.04

I had no expectations what would have to happen

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The error that you are a reporting is a package conflict between a package from the official Ubuntu archive and a package from a PPA. To resolve this situation please uninstall the package from a PPA using the tool 'ppa-purge' which is provided by the ppa-purge package. Then try performing the package operations again. Thanks in advance!
