Binary package hint: gimp

I installed ubuntu-desktop from a kubuntu installation and after the installation was complete (with errors) the warning that gimp was not installled appeared, but gimp is installed so the bug seems to be in the warning system

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error caused by a corrupted archive. Please execute the following commands, as it will clear your package cache, in a terminal ( Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) :

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then try performing the update again. This will likely resolve your issue. If so please set the bug's status to Invalid. Thanks in advance!
