Greetings!
As the title says, I can't seem to install *any*thing from backports.

*Example*, lets say I need to upgrade *Gimp* from 2.8 (in stable) to 2.10
(in Testing).If I go to https://backports.debian.org/Packages/ I can
*verify* that 2.10 is indeed in testing.

I run this:
*apt -t stretch-backports install gimp*
And my newly installed Debian 9.9 replies:

*gimp is already the newest version (2.8.18-1+deb9u1).0 upgraded, 0 newly
installed, 0 to remove and 153 not upgraded.*
Which is of course *WRONG*, because we just looked in Packages and verified
that 2.10 *is* in testing.

What can I do to install Gimp 2.10 from testing?

Thanks in advance,
--Brian
Also I have run--as *root--**apt update*, and here is my
/etc/apt/sources.list file:
