I am trying to uninstall Gimp but unable to do so. It is also not allowing me to install any other packages as well.
Error on running "sudo apt-get remove gimp"

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gimp-gmic : Depends: gimp (>= 2.8) but it is not going to be installed
sane : Depends: libgimp2.0 (>= 2.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
It suggests to run the fix-broken command. I typed "sudo apt --fix-broken install" and came another error.

Description-en: The GNU Image Manipulation Program
GIMP is an advanced picture editor. You can use it to edit, enhance, and
retouch photos and scans, create drawings, and make your own images.
It has a large collection of professional-level editing tools and
filters, similar to the ones you might find in Photoshop. Numerous
fine-control settings and features like layers, paths, masks, and
scripting give you total control over your images.
Many image file formats are supported, including JPEG, Photoshop (.psd),
and Paint Shop Pro (.psp) files. It can also be used to scan and print
photos.
.
To open files remotely (like over HTTP), install the gvfs-backends
package.
.
To use a MIDI device (like a musical keyboard) as an input controller in GIMP,
install libasound2 and read the how-to at /usr/share/doc/gimp/README.MIDI
