I desperately need to install Gimp on my computer. When I enter the Ubuntu Software Center Gimp is easily searchable, but when I click on it to download it says: "Not Found: there isn't a software package called 'gimp' in your current software sources". I've tried to add the program through the terminal using sudo apt- get install gimp to which I get the response E: unable to locate package gimp I've tried updates and changing my software settings, but nothing has helped and I can't find a clear fix here. If you have some advice, please share. Thanks!

    What Ubuntu release are you running? Also try `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade` and then try to install. – Mitch Aug 04 '14 at 20:27

Can you install other packages? What country are you residing (I mean, set during installation?) May be you have broken regional mirror? open your /etc/apt/sources.list file. It will be full of lines like

deb http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted

Change the regional code to some nearby country and run sudo apt-get update
