I faced whit this issue trying to install any package:

The dependency tree is built

Status information is read ... Finished

The gimp package is not available, but it is mentioned by another package.
This might mean that the package is missing, has become obsolete, or
Is only available from another source.

E: Package 'gimp' has no installation candidate

How can I fix it? Thank you.

In order to be sure to have the universe repository, where the gimp program package is stored, run (in a terminal window)

sudo add-apt-repository universe

Then run

sudo apt-get update

and if you have an installed system (but not if you have a live or persistent live system)

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Finally install gimp with

sudo apt-get install gimp
