I can't install new packages because of broken dependence: libgimp2.0

When I try apt --fix-broken install or apt-get install gimp libgimp2.0
I get the following error:

dpkg: error processing the file /var/cache/apt/archives/libgimp2.0_2.99.1+om~7-0ubu18.04.2~ppa_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libgimp-3.0.so.0.9901.0',  which is also in the package libgimp3.0 2.99.1+om~19-0ubu18.04.4~ppa
dpkg-deb: error: copied the subprocess was killed by the signal (broken pipe)

I think is a conflict between the libraries used by gimp and sane but I don't know how to fix it. I also tried apt-get update apt-get full-upgrade but it keep telling me that I need libgimp2.0

force removing the conflicting package (assumed to be libgimp3.0) by

sudo dpkg --purge --force-all libgimp3.0

then install the package again by

sudo apt-get install -f

  • I did solve it just before with sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libgimp2.0_2.99.1+om~7-0ubu18.04.2~ppa_amd64.deb as a comment on question n°383079 suggested. Still thanks for your answer @FangQ. – Lucas Curiel Apr 14 '20 at 21:43
