Package: gimp Version: 2.10.8-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
In the curent state of available packages from stable (buster) the program GIMP cannot be used. After start it shows following message: "GEGL operation missing! GIMP requires the GEGL operation "gegl:seamless-clone". This operation cannot be found. Check your GEGL install and ensure it has been compiled with any dependencies required for GIMP." and ends. If started from command line, then following additional error message is produced to the console: "$ gimp GEGL-Message: 20:38:16.980: Fehler beim Laden von Modul »/usr/lib/x86_64-linux- gnu/gegl-0.4/seamless-clone.so«: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgegl-sc-0.4.so: undefined symbol: __exp_finite " This bug has been already reported as a bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=968342 and was closed with the statement the dependency has to be used on libgegl-0.4-0 where the problem has been fixed, but the problem is, such version is not available on stable - buster, or even buster- backports. It breaks the basic rule, the stable packages have to depend only on stable packages. The todays stable (buster) version of libgegl-0.4-0 which is 0.4.12-2, does not contain the functionality, needed by the current stable version of gimp (2.10.8-2), what means the dependency in this gimp package version is defined ina wrong way, it should be defined like (>= 0.4.18-1) and not, like defined (>= 0.4.12). neither gimp, not libgegl-0.4-0 cannot be in the current stable version downgraded, which seems to be the reason, why the software after update of the stable system renders to be unbusable for everybody who keeps strictly on stable releases. Proposed solution: move the library libgegl-0.4-0 of version >= 0.4.18-1 from testing to stable or buster-backports... I cannot imagine, we cannot use GIMP software for the next 2 years until bullseye becomes stable. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.7.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE, TAINT_AUX Locale: LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=cs:en_US:de (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gimp depends on: ii gimp-data 2.10.8-2 ii libaa1 1.4p5-46 ii libbabl-0.1-0 0.1.62-1 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-9.2~deb10u1 ii libc6 2.31-3 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-4 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-2 ii libfreetype6 2.9.1-3+deb10u1 ii libgcc-s1 [libgcc1] 10.2.0-9 ii libgcc1 1:8.3.0-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.1+dfsg-1 ii libgegl-0.4-0 0.4.12-2 ii libgexiv2-2 0.10.9-1 ii libgimp2.0 2.10.8-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-2+deb10u2 ii libgs9 9.27~dfsg-2+deb10u4 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.32-3 ii libgudev-1.0-0 232-2 ii libharfbuzz0b 2.3.1-1 ii libheif1 1.3.2-2~deb10u1 ii libilmbase23 2.2.1-2 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.2-2+b1 ii liblcms2-2 2.9-3 ii liblzma5 5.2.4-1 ii libmng1 1.0.10+dfsg-3.1+b5 ii libmypaint-1.3-0 1.3.0-2.1 ii libopenexr23 2.2.1-4.1+deb10u1 ii libopenjp2-7 2.3.0-2+deb10u1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.42.4-8~deb10u1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.42.4-8~deb10u1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.42.4-8~deb10u1 ii libpng16-16 1.6.36-6 ii libpoppler-glib8 0.71.0-5 ii librsvg2-2 2.44.10-2.1 ii libstdc++6 10.2.0-9 ii libtiff5 4.1.0+git191117-2~deb10u1 ii libwebp6 0.6.1-2 ii libwebpdemux2 0.6.1-2 ii libwebpmux3 0.6.1-2+b1 ii libwmf0.2-7 0.2.8.4-14 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1+deb10u1 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.15-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-2+b3 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.12-1 ii xdg-utils 1.1.3-1+deb10u1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2 Versions of packages gimp recommends: ii ghostscript 9.27~dfsg-2+deb10u4 Versions of packages gimp suggests: pn gimp-data-extras <none> pn gimp-help-en | gimp-help <none> pn gimp-python <none> ii gvfs-backends 1.38.1-5 ii libasound2 1.1.8-1 -- no debconf information
