Bug Description

Binary package hint: gimp

similar to #148985,

Was just doing an update after being away over the weekend. Allowed the update manager to continue until it stopped.
The error is similar to #148985 but with libgimp instead of gimp.

to workaround after the completion of updates:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libgimp2.0_2.4.0~rc3-1ubuntu7_amd64.deb

all updates are considered complete now.

Thanks for your bug report.

No problem here on amd64, though. Reinstalled gimp + libgimp, no errors.
