Trying to install Gimp 2.10.8 - but get 2.8.22

Hi.
I already had Gimp version 2.10.8 installed.
So I decided to install the newest version:

Code:

sudo apt-get autoremove gimp gimp-plugin-registry
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp

But - I end up getting the version 2.10.8 installed instead.Can anybody point out what I'm doing wrong here ?

We already use that PPA in Series 3.x. You can't get 2.10.8 unless you're on Series 4.x or higher.

Ok, thanks

What he says!

Same for a few programs, like the Krita graphics program (which I fell in love with ).
Version 2.9 on LL 3.x and 4.x on LL 4.x

For the veterans here :
When this happens, can we "force" install these? Tried to update Kernel wihout success.
Fake the Ubuntu version temporalily or something...
