GIMP just went limp

Briefly describe your issue below:

After the latest update (today) I saw that GNU radio among another 400+ updates were done. Unfortunately, GIMP keeps crashing now.

Reinstall via synaptic did nothing to fix this

Apparently, the update should not have been included for Debian derivitives, including Parrot yet

Good catch.I guess we have to wait for a fix.Or install it with Snap or with Flatpak.I prefer Flatpak since it is more maintained and its on their website.https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ ~ Flatpak
https://snapcraft.io/gimp ~ Snap

yea I was in the middle of some graphic work for another website…I usually wait to run updates till the end of the day, but that day I did it in the morning and killed my graphic work.

So it looks like here is what happened:

GIMP 2.10.8-2 was built on sid (which had GEGL 0.4.12 at the
time). Testing also had GEGL 0.4.12, so there was no version mismatch
and everything was fine. Then, GIMP 2.10.8-2+b1 was built on sid, which
now has GEGL 0.4.14. When GIMP 2.10.8-2+b1 (now built against GEGL
0.4.14) migrated to testing (which still has GEGL 0.4.12), the version
mismatch occurred causing the GIMP to crash.

Note that I am just guessing the versions of packages that sid and
testing had in the past, so it should be taken with a grain of salt.

If this is the case, there appears to be three obvious fixes:

Migrate GEGL 0.4.14 to testing.
Revert the testing GIMP package to 2.10.8-2.
Build the testing GIMP package against GEGL 0.4.12.

Since GEGL is 188 days old and should be migrated anyway, 1. seems to be
preferable. Looking at the package tracker [1], it appears that there
are some migration issues that need to be looked at, so perhaps 2. could
be a temporary fix. I’m not sure how 3. would be implemented, since the
sid GIMP package would still need to be built against GEGL 0.4.14.

so it looks like the peeps at Debian figured out the bug and made a change to the library as noted here

I’m guessing we need same or similar changes in our repositories so that GIMP can be used again…but that’s above my paygrade , I guess we need one of the ParrotSec Dev Team to make the needed changes…

Apparently, the issue gets fixed by installing libgegl-0.4-0
0.4.14-2 from “unstable” over 0.4.12-2 from “testing”.

Good lord,Christ this gets worse and worse with updates… Dito! And never ever been able to get LibreOffice to work ever since it got nuked with Firejail. This package is almost unusable now as far as to go OS goes. Feeling very frustrated.

Briefly describe your issue below:

Latest update… 21st Sept 2019 Many updates were done. GIMP crashing now even after re-install and repair.

Reinstalled via synaptic did not fix this!
