install BABL

[Brian Cluff]

Have you had a PPA version installed on this machine in the past.  I got 
lots of errors like that when the PPA version fell behind of the distro 
version but had dependencies that wouldn't allow the distro version to 
install all it's dependencies.
I was able to fix is by getting rid of the old PPA and then deleting 
everything gimp related off the system and then reinstalling gimp from 
the distros repositories.
