Actually, yes, I did miss that message. Not sure why. Sometimes I seem 
to not get messages from mailing lists.

In any case, thank you for reposting it. I went and checked out the 
packages Dan had references. My install attempt looked like this:

dave at ubuntu1:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i gimp-2.2.8_2.2.8-1_i386.deb Password:
Selecting previously deselected package gimp-2.2.8.
(Reading database ... 107273 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking gimp-2.2.8 (from gimp-2.2.8_2.2.8-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing gimp-2.2.8_2.2.8-1_i386.deb (--install):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/local/bin/gimp-remote-2.2', which is also in 
package gimp
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 gimp-2.2.8_2.2.8-1_i386.deb

"Broken pipe"? What happened?
