can not install GIMP

Asked by Bob

when I try to install from the software center I get this,

This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

details
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

gimp: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.11) but 2.13-0ubuntu13.1 is to be installed

I suggest you report a bug. The packages should all be solid. I doubt much will happen as Natty is EOL in less than 3 months and I suggest you clean install with Precise.

Can you help with this problem?
