I got this error message when trying to install GIMP.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gimp : Depends: python-gtk2 (>= 2.8.0) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: python:any (>= 2.6.6-7~)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Open the terminal and type: 

sudo apt update
sudo apt install aptitude
sudo aptitude install python-minimal python2.7 python-tk python:any python-gtk2    
sudo aptitude install -f gimp

Using aptitude instead of apt may offer some automatic solutions for removing conflicting packages.
