Gimp install error please help

[meusikman21]

I've searched here and elsewhere and can't find a solution that works. When I type apt-get install gimp this happens... I tried so many things like updates, 32 bit program on 64 bit from the forum here, but nothing changes. I did run the live usb for kali and installed and used no problem. ONce I installed it as my only operating system this is all I get. Please please help!

root@kali:~# apt-get install gimp

ARE your kali update/upgrade && are your REPO-LIST ""settings"" OK?

[meusikman21]

I did update/upgrade kali as the first attempt to resolve the issue. All updates and upgrades went smoothly then the same message. I'm not sure how to check repo-list "settings" . I will do a search to see if I can find out how.

Add the following to your sources:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

Then you apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and then apt-get install gimp
